Question

As a Netbeans user, how do I edit my Play 2.0 applications in Netbeans in a way that is simple, and all the classes are recognized and not underlined in red?

Answer 1

Here is a much easier way.

1. Download and Install Play Framework 2.0
2. Into the command line:
   

play new <application-name>
cd <application-name>
play eclipsify

3. Open Netbeans
4. From the netbeans menu, select:
   File > Import Project > Eclipse Project > Import project ignoring dependencies
5. Copy and paste your project folder location the same into both text boxes

Tips:

1. Do not compile, build, or anything between creating the project and importing it.
2. In your play Controllers, Netbeans will not recognize your new views if the play server is not running. You can also the commandline and type: play compile to force the views to be compiled.
