I would like to contribute to PlayFramework 2.0.

Building from the command line is really not the best way to work on this overcomplex language called Scala. It really needs an IDE to ease comprehension. ( btw see http://zeroturnaround.com/blog/scala-sink-or-swim-part-2/ for more details on this topic)

What is the preferred IDE to work on the framework sources, and how to import the code ?

In other words, how do play developers work ? What is their setup ?

Thank you

    it is not all that difficult:

    get the source

    git clone https://github.com/playframework/Play20.git

    add IDEA plugin

    to framework/project/plugins.sbt:

    resolvers += "sbt-idea-repo" at "http://mpeltonen.github.com/maven/"
addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.0.0")

    generate IDE friendliness

    [...Play20/framework]$ sbt gen-idea
