Question

Play Framework 2.0 doesn’t seem to have much / any support for Netbeans. I’m currently just using it as an editor (loading the files using the favorites tab), but it’s a little frustrating that Netbeans doesn’t recognise any of the libraries / api’s.

This means that EVERYTHING is underlined in red.

Trying to create a free-form project requires a build file, so I get stuck there too.

Any ideas appreciated…

Answer 1

1. Create a play project as per normal way.
2. From the play CLI select play eclipsify to create an eclipse project.
3. From netbeans, select File > Import Project > Eclipse Project
4. Select Import Projects Ignoring Dependencies
5. In Project to Import, insert the root of your play application.
6. In Destination Folder, also insert the root of your play application.
7. Press Finish.
