play 2.0 beta - IntelliJ IDEA configuration (Java)

[Dominik Dorn]

Hi,

Ive just tried to get the new PlayFramework 2.0 java zentasks app
running in my IDE (IntelliJ Idea),
and finally managed to get it running.
This is a guide on how you'll have to configure your IntelliJ IDEA
project to get running with it.

So this is what you'll have to do to get a play 2.0 beta JAVA app running.

Create a new project using play new
(play_00.png)

in this example, it would be
$APP=/home/domdorn/work/play/sampleTest

and I have play 2.0 beta installed in

$PLAY=/home/domdorn/work/playframework/play-2.0-beta

In IDEA, create a new project and select "Create Java Project from
existing sources"
(play_01.png) and click next until the window disappears.

next, open up the module settings and configure it like play_02.png
Source folders:
$APP/app

then add a new library (play_03.png) with the following paths

JAR-Directories
$PLAY/framework/sbt/boot/scala-2.9.1/play/play/2.0-beta/
$PLAY/framework/sbt/boot/scala-2.9.1/lib/

Source-Folders:
$PLAY/framework/play/src/main/java/

For the module

then add another dependency (single entry library)
(you might have to compile your play app first using play compile)
and configure it like in screenshot play_04.png
( $APP/target/scala-2.9.1/classes )

voila, you can now develop with play 2.0 in your favorite IDEa ;)

I hope this helps some of you!

Dominik

Thank you for that Dominik.

Also for any idea it useful to add the
target/scala-2.9.1/classes-managed to the classpath as well. It
contains all generated classes like the reverse routing and the
templates.

I highly recommend using the sbt-idea plugin:
