Built-in SBT Support in IntelliJ IDEA 13

Alexander Podkhalyuzin

Today we are happy to announce that the built-in support for SBT projects is finally here. The newest version of Scala plugin for IntelliJ IDEA 13 (0.23.308) comes with the following list of features:

• Import SBT project
• Auto-import SBT projects
• Highlighting for .sbt files

To import an SBT project please use one of these options:

1. File → Open, then choose .sbt file to import it as project
2. File → Import Project, then choose .sbt file or directory containing SBT project

Don’t forget to use Enable auto-import checkbox to have your IntelliJ IDEA project automatically synchronized with .sbt files.

More cool features as well as the support for integration between Play 2.0 and SBT are coming soon. Please feel free to share your feedback, feature requests or just report found bugs to our issue tracker.

If you’d like to contribute or check out the sources use these two projects:

• Scala plugin (IntelliJ IDEA plugin)
• sbt-structure (SBT plugin)

Enjoy!
