How to create SBT project with IntelliJ Idea?

Question

I just got started with Scala/LiftWeb/Sbt developing, and I\'d like to import a Sbt project in IntelliJ Idea. Actually, I managed to import my project in two different ways:

Answer 1

For sbt 0.7

See the answer elsewhere on this page.

For sbt 0.10

Clone and build Ismael's sbt-idea:

git clone https://github.com/ijuma/sbt-idea.git
cd sbt-idea
git checkout sbt-0.10
./sbt package

Create an sbt plugin lib directory if you don't have one already

mkdir -p  ~/.sbt/plugins/lib

Copy the jar built in step one into here

cp sbt-idea/target/scala-2.8.1.final/*.jar ~/.sbt/plugins/lib

Restart or reload sbt, then you can run gen-idea (or gen-idea with-classifiers if you want sources and javadoc in intelliJ too)

In IntelliJ IDEA 13.x itself

You can open an SBT-based project in IDEA nowadays. It will create the necessary project and modules, and keep your dependencies up-to-date whenever you make changes to the build scripts.
