IntelliJ IDEA

[Ian Clarke]

I've been reacquainting myself with Scala, and acquainting myself with SBT and other tools.

One issue is that since I last hacked on Swarm I've switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA (which has a nice Scala plugin).

Problem is I'm having trouble persuading it to work with the current source tree.  Are any of you guys using IDEA with the current source tree?

Any tips on getting IDEA to play nice?  I've installed the Scala and SBT plugins.

Ian.

I have been, but there is two steps you need to perform before it will work with IDEA:

 

1.) Add the sbt-idea plugin to your ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt file. Instructions are at https://github.com/mpeltonen/sbt-idea

 

2.) From the project root directory, issue the "sbt gen-idea" command. This will generate the IDEA project files. Any time you update the Build.scala file, you'll want to re-run this.

 

ALTERNATIVELY

 

You can install the Scala and SBT nightly plugins for IDEA (I'd do this anyway), and Import Project, select the SBT project type, check Auto-Update, and it will do the same thing as the sbt-idea plugin, but automatically update when Build.scala changes.

Ah, nice - I went with the nightly build, thanks!

One more question, it only seemed to import the swarm-core project, not the demos etc.  Any ideas on how to import them also?

Thanks again!

Ian.

Ah you know what, that's exactly why I have both installed. With multi-project SBT projects (what a mouthful), you have to use the sbt-idea plugin to properly generate the IDEA project files. Last I heard this was on their TODO list, but for now, that's what we have to do with Swarm.

Gotchya, seems to work now - thanks!
