Clone and build Scalala with Eclipse/IntelliJ

Question

I am trying to import Scalala into Eclipse. I had tried using the sbt-eclipse plugin by adding the lines

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.0.0-M2") 

to my plugins.sbt and I ran ./sbt update from the root of the Scalala dir which is cloned from github, I am getting the below error

==================================================

[warn] 
[warn]  Note: Some unresolved dependencies have extra attributes.  Check that these dependencies exist with the requested attributes.
[warn]      com.typesafe.sbteclipse:sbteclipse-plugin:2.0.0-M2 (sbtVersion=0.11.0, scalaVersion=2.9.1)
[warn]

Project loading failed: (r)etry, (q)uit, (l)ast, or (i)gnore? i
[warn] Ignoring load failure: no project loaded.

==================================================

Had anyone successfully built Scalala's source with Eclipse and can share the steps they followed?

I can also give IntelliJ a try if that is the preferred method and used by many devs. If there are some tweaking necessary for running on IntelliJ please provide them as well.

Answer 1

sbteclipse requires sbt 0.11.2. I have created a pull request with the necessary changes to upgrade Scalala to sbt 0.11.2. Meanwhile, you can make the same changes locally.

You'll still need to add sbteclipse to project/plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.0.0-M2") 

EDIT: The changes have been merged, and Scalala now uses sbt 0.11.2. Grab the latest Scalala, add the config line above, and you should be good to go.
