Scala and Play 2.0 Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA 14 EAP is Out

We’re excited to tell you that we’ve just started the Scala plugin EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 14, so if you’re running an IntelliJ IDEA 14 EAP build, you can install the new Scala plugin via Settings → Plugins.

Here’s what the new Scala plugin brings you.

Play 2.0 Support is Now Part of the Scala Plugin

The key change we’d like to highlight is that the Scala and Play 2.0 plugins have merged together, so with IntelliJ IDEA 14 you don’t need to install them separately because Play 2.0 support is now a part of the Scala plugin. You still need to run IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate to enable Play 2.0 support though.

Change Signature Refactoring

The Change Signature refactoring is now also available for Scala code. It’s still a work in progress, but you can give it a try:

Improved SBT Support

  • Documentation popup for SBT keys on Ctrl + Mouse hover
  • Code completion for artifacts
  • The dep live template
  • The inspection that checks unresolved dependencies
  • The android-sbt-plugin support
  • The inspection that simplifies Project() call into project.in() when possible
  • Navigation to subproject via Ctrl + Mouse click (Cmd + Mouse click for OS X)

Faster Performance

In the new Scala plugin we’ve added a caching mechanism that significantly improves performance when you’re working with files that contain large numbers of implicits.

For the complete list of changes, refer to the Release Notes.

As always, you’re welcome to share your feedback in our discussion forum or issue tracker.

Develop with Pleasure!

Improved support for braceless Scala syntax IntelliJ IDEA can now desugar braceless Scala code properly, and it handles refactorings where the “fewer braces” feature is used. It also supports braceless syntax in worksheets and correctly interprets indentation when you move extensions methods up and down in your code. The indentation of the extension method is carried over correctly Streamlined import management If you use compiler-based highlighting, until now all imports have been marked as used. Scala 3.3, however, introduced a new compiler option, -Wunused:imports. The IDE c

IntelliJ Scala Plugin 2022.3 Is Out!

This release has been again focused on Scala 3, but there are also quite a few other improvements. Better Scala 3 support In v2022.3, we’ve introduced a large number of upgrades to provide better Scala 3 support. The IDE now supports parameter untupling and quoted patterns, and it features many improvements to the support for match types and type variables. There is now type inference for type variables, and they are parsed correctly for pattern-matching purposes. Named arguments in the trait constructor are now correctly handled, and you can use an action to quickly create a Scala 3 enu

IntelliJ Scala Plugin 2022.2 Is Out!

This release has been again focused on improving Scala 3 support, but there are also a few other improvements. Better Scala 3 support As of v.2022.2, IntelliJ IDEA can read match types from .tasty files, properly parse them, resolve type variables, use them as type arguments, support inspections, and show types as text. On top of that, we’ve added support for Option-less extractors, type lambdas and polymorphic function types, type-level compiler intrinsics, and ? as a wildcard together with _ in Scala 2.13.9 and 2.12.16. Copy-pasted code is also now properly indented. Compiler

IntelliJ Scala Plugin 2022.1 Is Out!

New Scala project wizard 3. Alias exports 4. Unused declaration inspection 5. Scala debugger upgrades Scala 3 support improvements This release includes many Scala 3 support improvements: It is now possible to autocomplete extension methods (to see methods from other objects, press Ctrl+Alt+Space twice). The editor offers to import extension methods and given instances automatically. New i
