I'm trying to execute junits in a project where the stack is playframework with java, I'm able to run the test by calling sbt test but I would like run the junits in eclipse IDE but keeps showing errors because the models are NOT enhanced.
I saw that there is a plugin for eclipse, but it didn't work for me. Do you guys know to do accomplish running that junits in eclipse?
As a not I'm a noobie using playframework.
Thanks in advance.
After doing more research, I found that there are two eclipse plugins to enable the EBean enhancer and I was using the wrong one.
This link really help me to understand which version of EBean I was using in my project https://github.com/playframework/play-ebean
If you are using EBean version from 4.x to 7.x, install the following plugin http://ebean-orm.github.io/eclipse/update-4.11.2
If you are using EBean version 10.3.x, then install http://ebean-orm.github.io/eclipse/update
Hope this helps to someone in the future...

Some time ago I used to run Quarkus projects in Linux as any other proyect, this means by clicking "Edit Configurations" and selecting "Quarkus (Maven)" as you can see in this picture:
But now I´m using Windows and those menus have disapeared:
As an alternative currently I´m running my Quarkus projects from Maven tab, which isn´t a fashion way:
So at the begining I thought this was due to a bug in Quarkus Tools plugin that I created a new issue, however that plugin does not offer such feature. Could anybody give a hand on how to run Quarkus projects as any other project? Thanks in advance.
Run configurations are offered by this plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14242-quarkus-integration
Looks like it is discontinued though, marked as "deprecated" and it's not showing in the Plugin marketplace (within IntelliJ) for me, so I had to install it via the website.
AFAIK there are plans for the official JetBrains bundled plugin to support it (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-228507), but it's not done yet.
Problem
I'm trying to create a Play 2.3.1 framework, because the lack of info on how to get started with 2.4.3. So much has changed apparently that the tutorials on youtube is useless and I can't get it to work.
Question
How do I do this?
I have tried to go to https://www.playframework.com/download#older-versions but all versions yield the same link to https://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.6/typesafe-activator-1.3.6-minimal.zip
which installs the newest playframework 2.4.3.
Please say that someone knows how to do this?
Also, why should I bother using 2.4.3 > 2.3.1 if I'm only creating a simple mobile app w/database? Security reasons or just "easier"?
Same question for IntelliJ 14 > IntelliJ 13 ?
https://www.playframework.com/download#older-versions is the link you need.
When you're new to Play! it can be quite confusing so I think a bit of terminology is needed.
SBT - Scala build tool. This is a build tool that is baked into every Play! project but totally independent of Play! framework, ie. many Scala projects use this to manage their builds without ever using Play! It's just the Scala equivilient of a Maven, Gradle or Ant. Nothing special.
Activator - This is Play!'s commandline, like a build-tool++. It's commandline tool with a superset of the SBT commands clean compile etc etc, with Play! specific ones like 'new', 'run'. It actually just amounts to not much more than a script (.sh/.bat) which bootstraps SBT and some extra goodness for running play commands. In earlier versions like 1.x this command was named play. Version 2.x was a practically a re-write so you can ignore all related advice.
Play - the playframework itself is just a regular jar (and all its dependencies). It is declared in the project/plugins.sbt
So the reason all the download links point to activator-1.3.6 is because that is just the version of the commandline tool. This will default to latest: 2.4.x.
When you perform an activator new you get a choice of templates. If you REALLY REALLY want to use 2.3.x you could choose this template when prompted hello-play-2_3-scala.
But I don't suggest you do that because:
The documentation for 2.4.x is comprehensive and there are walkthrough guides, it won't take any longer than a youtube video.
There are bug fixes and new features in 2.4.x
2.4.x introduced dependency injection which means it will be harder to upgrade once you'ved developed everything in 2.3x.
Apart from dependency injection most stuff works the same in 2.4.x
Intellij:
Use 14. Play support is improving all the time. If you can use the Early Access Program and the latest version of the Scala plugin.
Don't run 'activator idea' - this is deprecated. File -> open project from Intellij should be enough.
I am writing a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that depends on the Android plugin.
The IntelliJ Community Edition source code doesn't seem to include the Android plugin. I want to access the APIs like AndroidFacet and AndroidUtils in my plugin project. How can I go about doing this? I tried pulling code from https://android.googlesource.com/platform/tools/adt/idea/ and adding it to classpath but no luck so far.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: The above might be confusing. What i really need is the JARs for the Android plugin so that I can add them to the ClassPath and access stuff like AndroidFacet, etc.
You can read this manual Developing IDEA plugin with dependency on Scala plugin. Change Scala plugin with the android plugin.
I know there is one for play1, but I don't find any for play2.
I hope the plugin can compile the templates to scala code automatically. It's not convenient now.
I just came across Scala IDE Play2 plugin for Eclipse Indigo/Juno and Scala IDE. The current features are
Syntax Highlighting (routes and templates)
Code completion (templates)
Formatter (routes)
Hyperlinking (routes and templates)
Note that hyperlinking to Java files is not supported for now. Also there are some limitations for the code completion feature, just take some time to read the doc. I didn't try it myself as I'm not working with Play2 right now, but thought it might be helpful for someone.
Edit: This answer is outdated. A Play Eclipse plugin has been written, as #Baztoune says.
There is no Play 2 plugin for Eclipse at the time I’m writing these lines. However, there is an eclipsify sbt command, provided by the Play 2 sbt plugin, which is able to generate an Eclipse project from a Play 2 application.
You won’t get syntax highlighting, contextual completion or code navigation inside Play 2 templates, but you can have them to be automatically compiled when saved by using the ~run sbt command (instead of just run). Check the Eclipse “General −> Workspace −> Refresh using native hooks or polling” option is enabled so it will take compiled templates changes into account.
Yes, here's how to get started:
Find the correct update site for your version of Eclipse from http://scala-ide.org/download/current.html.
In Eclipse go to Help->Install New Software. Use the update site from above to locate Scala related plugins.
Install both the Scala IDE for Eclipse plugin and the Play2 support in Scala IDE plugin. Note that the Play2 support in Scala IDE plugin is listed under the Scala IDE plugins checkbox.
I was unable to get this working at all starting from bare Eclipse, as many sources have suggested doing. The problem seems to be incompatible dependencies that only show up after much wasted time. The Scala IDE route eliminated this problem.
Yes. That's Scala IDE.
Update Site for Eclipse Juno and Kepler: http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/e38/scala210/stable/site
Install with the following features:
Scala IDE for Eclipse
Scala IDE Plugins (incubation)
I use Scala IDE from http://scala-ide.org/ , then eclipsify my play2 project and import.
It works like a charm: it compiles my scala/java code.

I am experimenting with Groovy Griffon development and I am wondering what IDE to use.
I am trying to use NetBeans 6.5, and I found this post
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/notes_on_converting_netbeans_grails
essentially it describes forking the NetBeans trunk and hacking the Grails support; I was hoping for something more lightweight.
Are there any simple tools to create eclipse, netbeans or pom.xml's from Griffin Apps?
Or is it best to use a simple text editor?
There is a NetBeans Griffon plugin already available at http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=18664
Griffon apps have some rudimentry hooks already for IDE integration.
First, a .classpath and .project file are generated that mark the expected source and test directories for Eclipse. Both IntelliJ and NetBeans have importers for these eclipse files (and they work, I use them regularly).
Second, Griffon 0.1.1 adds more targets to the parallel build.xml so that more of the common scripts can be used as though they were ant tasks (run-app, compile, debug-app, etc.)
Third, there is some better IDE support in the works form some of the IDE vendors. As mentioned in the article you linked because Griffon is grails derived it is fairly easy to re-purpose existing Grails support. IntelliJ has the only specific tracked feature request I am aware of.
IntelliJ Idea has very good Griffon support.
This question usually comes with a next question:
How to debug Griffon?
Just in case someone still requires a helping hand trying to figure out how to debug Griffon in Eclipse/STS I've written a simple step by step guide to get it done:
http://ivo43.blogspot.com/2012/02/debugging-griffon-in-eclipsests.html
Hope it helps someone someday, :D
PD: I've tried Netbeans and even though it looks great am still with STS, call me a maniac!
