Package Search is a service developed by JetBrains that supports searching for libraries from multiple repositories such as Maven Central, Google Maven, and others. Since its introduction at the end of 2019, the Package Search plugin has made searching for and managing dependencies for Maven and Gradle projects more convenient. Starting with the Scala plugin 2021.2 release, the Package Search p

With this major version, we've focused primarily on the performance and overall quality of the plugin. We’ve still added a number of new features to help with day-to-day Scala programming. Let's take a closer look. 1. Kinds in type diffs 2. Machine learning completion 3. Phases and units in compilation charts 4. Scala 3.0.0-RC2 support 5. IntelliJ Platform plugin

It so happens that this year's Scala Days is Scala Love in the City. The online conference promises to be exciting. It includes some of the most well-known names in the Scala world, with Martin Odersky as a keynote speaker. And the virtual food is amazing ;) If you haven't registered yet, make sure to catch up before February 13. (Registration is virtually free!). The event is lovingly supported

Most releases are focused on editor features, but the stars of this show are parallel compilation and compilation charts. We also have a handful of editor goodies in store. Let's take a closer look. 1. Parallel Compilation 2. Compilation Charts 3. Enhanced Package Prefixes 4. MUnit Support 5. Scala 3 Improvements 6. And more! Parallel Compilation According

What happens when you combine one obscure IntelliJ IDEA feature with two obscure Scala features? If you choose the right ones, their obscurities just might cancel each other out, so that instead making everything far more opaque you can get an intuitive and internally consistent system. Let's see how the upcoming version of the Scala plugin combines package prefixes with chained package clauses an

Because Scala is a curly-bracket language, adding and removing curly braces is an integral part of Scala programmers' everyday life. Those actions compound, so every improvement in this area matters. To understand the new advances, let us first take a take a look at it from historical perspective (or just watch this). Before At the beginning, there was no IDE assistance, so you had to tinker with

Although we won't have Scala Days this year, the Scala Love conference is all the rage. The technology lets us transcend physical boundaries – we can unite while being far away... well, at least as long as there are tickets left ;) Owing to high demand, the IntelliJ Scala team has volunteered to extend the conference by hosting a third track called Harmony, in addition to the two existing o

We added basic Dotty support in the IntelliJ Scala plugin a long time ago, right after the announcement of Dotty. However, for a long time Dotty has been a dark horse, and aiming at a moving target hadn't been easy. So it was reasonable to put that task on the back-burner and focus on Scala 2 for a while. Now that Dotty is finally destined to become Scala 3 and the language features are getting mo

They say "with great power comes great responsibility." Because of the IntelliJ Scala plugin's huge user base, most default settings tend to become de-facto standards in the Scala community, so we strive to choose the defaults wisely. Moreover, we believe that sometimes such kind of decisions are worthy of detailed explanations, and subject to approval by the community. As experience has shown,

As some of you may know, this June the whole Scala plugin team took a break and went to Berlin to enjoy Scala Days 2014, and of course to meet IntelliJ IDEA users! Alexander Podkhalyuzin, a lead developer of the Scala plugin, used this chance to catch Jason Zaugg, a Scala rockstar and developer at Typesafe, and talk about Scala Compiler, Dotty and IntelliJ IDEA. Enjoy the interview! Alexander:

The Scala community knows that the place to be on June 16th - 18th is Scala Days 2014 conference. So, the entire team behind the IntelliJ Scala plugin went to Berlin to embrace the awesomeness of this event. Besides attending the talks (I wish I had enough time to hear them all), we delivered our own presentation Good to Great: IntelliJ IDEA and Scala (hosted by Alexander). We also had a boo

A few weeks ago Alexandr Podkhaliuzin, lead developer from JetBrains was invited to SF Scala to give a talk about Scala support in IntelliJ IDEA. In his presentation he talked about Scala language and its non-trivial technical aspects which make development more complicated as compared to other languages, and how the IntelliJ IDEA helps developers to overcome these complications and essentially
