[2.1 RC1-java] Compilation Errors with fresh Java Project with Intellij IDEA 12 EAP

[Diwa Laksh]

Hi,

  I created an fresh java project with "play new test" using Play 2.1 RC1. I am able to compile, run and test in the Play console. But when i generate an idea project, open it with Intellij IDEA 12 EAP  and try to build it, i get the compilation errors below.

/Users/diwa/code/test/target/scala-2.10/src_managed/main/controllers/routes.java

java: cannot find symbol

  symbol:   class ReverseApplication

  location: package controllers

java: cannot find symbol

  symbol:   class ReverseAssets

  location: package controllers

java: package controllers.javascript does not exist

java: package controllers.ref does not exist

........

/Users/diwa/code/test/app/controllers/Application.java

java: cannot find symbol

  symbol:   variable index

  location: class controllers.Application

I have not yet tried this in Intellij IDEA 11

Is anyone else using this combination? Are you facing these errors ?

Regards

Diwa

Hi, Diwa.

You need to use play/sbt compilation instead of simple javac from Intellij, because javac has no way to know about your routes and templates.

You can use idea-sbt-plugin to invoke sbt from Intellij.

changing build.sbt under libraryDepndencies add javaCore,

worked for me.
