What & why

The Supported sources table on the Overview page marks scala as supported under Assessment · Analyzer. The Analyzer does not support Scala — its engine (bladespector) has no Scala source technology, so analyze --source-tech offers no Scala option.

Scala is supported only by the Switch LLM transpiler (Scala → Databricks Python notebook). This is already stated elsewhere in the docs:

  • faq.mdx: "Other: Airflow, Python, Scala (via Switch)"
  • transpile/pluggable_transpilers/switch/index.mdx: "scala | Scala Code → Databricks Python Notebook"

So the Converter check on the scala row is correct; only the Assessment · Analyzer check is wrong.

Change

Clear the erroneous Assessment · Analyzer check on the scala row of the Supported sources table. The Converter check is left unchanged.

       <td>scala</td>
       <td></td>
-      <td>&#x2705;</td>   <!-- Assessment - Analyzer -->
+      <td></td>
       <td>&#x2705;</td>   <!-- Converter (Switch) — unchanged -->
       <td></td>

Note

The python row appears to have the same issue (marked under Assessment · Analyzer, but Analyzer has no bare-python dialect — only PySpark/Jupyter Notebook). Left out of this PR to keep it focused; happy to include it if maintainers prefer.

The Supported Sources table marked `scala` under Assessment - Analyzer,
but the Analyzer (bladespector) has no Scala source technology. Scala is
supported only by the Switch LLM transpiler (Scala -> Databricks Python
notebook), as documented in faq.mdx ("Scala (via Switch)") and
transpile/pluggable_transpilers/switch/index.mdx. This clears the
erroneous Analyzer check on the scala row; the Converter check is correct
and left unchanged.
