Summary:
- Ant presents a summary of several tests and findings integrating Scala and JEE
- EJB Beans in Scala only if @LocalBean annotated
- JSF also possible with some issues (use @BeanProperty because Scala don't support java beans spec)
- Ant presents a summary of useful features in Scala
- parallel collections built-in
- XML also presented as powerful and part of main API (Elizabeth present some examples of production code)
- Scala is a powerful tool to create your own DSLs.
- reduce() is a particular case of foldLeft()
- case classes (or classes on steroids) allow matching and come with equals, hashCode, toString, are immutable and don't require 'new' to be constructed.

| Recommendations:
Recommendations go here
- Part of the learning process required lots of decompiling. Scala compiles into Java and may turn your classes into subclasses or implementations of stuff without you knowing.
- JPA annotations presented few issues. All JPA annotations redefined as a work-around
- Beware of ORM-related issues when manipulating collections from several thread (transaction, laziness, ...)
