I started using the Play Framework a couple weeks ago.
Everything works quite fine, I can compile, use autocompletion in Java files and SBT is running ok,
But one thing that bugs me out is that I have no coloration nor completion in the routes, and scala.html files.
I thought this was normal, but this morning I saw this page where the templates are clearly completion supported.
For me, only simple HTML tags are colored.
I checked the requirements page, and I do have the scala plugin installed. I tried to uninstall/reinstall without success.
I use Play 2.4.4 and IntelliJ community edition 14.1.4.
I looked for a solution on the internet, but nothing so far.
Anything I could have missed? I seems like everything should just work from the Play page and intellij websites. . .
I have been using eclipse before, so my IntelliJ installation is pretty clean.
Thanks!
Both of your links about using the Play Framework with IntelliJ seem to miss the point that you need the Ultimate Edition of IntelliJ in order to get the full support. See the comparison Matrix where Play support (for version 1.x and 2.x) is listed as "Supported only in Ultimate Edition": IntelliJ IDEA Editions Comparison.
The current support, which you've noticed, is plain Java and as it seems XML, since HTML is also an "Ultimate Feature".
You may want to try the free 30-day trial of the Ultimate Edition to see if it works for you - including the Play support - and if it's worth buying it.
Long time reader, first time asking a question.
Most of my development work has been in .NET using Visual Studio. Recently I took over maintenance of a website built on PHP and downloaded NetBeans as an IDE.
NetBeans has a very nice CSS property wizard for HTML projects that highlights the CSS rules in use for a particular element and lets you edit the rules directly. However, this doesn't appear to be available for PHP projects, even for pure HTML files within the project. Is that correct, or am I just missing some configuration? I can't seem to find any confirmation either way in the documentation or forums. (It would be unfortunate if it didn't work... it's a really useful feature.)
Thanks,
Terry
If you are referring to the visual CSS editing support that works with Google Chrome and the WebKit browser embedded in NetBeans, then this feature will be available for PHP projects in the upcoming NetBeans 7.4 release.

Hope this helps,

I recently saw that there was an approach to integrate the Substance LAF with Netbeans that was abandoned in 2008. Now, the active development is made within the Insubstantial - project and since 2008, a lot of advances where made.
Everytime i see an article about Substance (and/or Flamingo) and Netbeans, the authors are using an outdated version of Substance, but not the new Insubstantial libraries.
Does someone know how to use them with Netbeans? The standard way by just adding the --laf parameter doesn't seem to work and i guess there wouldn't have been the integration project if it's that simple.
My target is to use a self-written SubstanceSkin with my Netbeans Platform application.
Kind regards,
David
You can try using -Dswing.defaultlaf in netbeans.conf.
For example :
-Dswing.defaultlaf=org.pushingpixels.substance.api.skin.SubstanceBusinessLookAndFeel
Here is the documentation and the available skins.
Where can I find an Eclipse plugin for ASP classic?
There is a plug-in called EclipseColorer that provides Syntax Highligting. You can find the plugin at http://colorer.sourceforge.net/ You won't get the outline feature and it's a little buggy but it works pretty well for the most part.
I don't think one exists. I know when I was stuck doing Classic I searched far and wide for a plugin or editor, and apart from Visual Studio which has rudimentary syntax highlighting, there wasn't anything I found. I just use Notepad++
The Eclipse Visual Editor project seems to be dead, no commits, no updates. Any one know what is happening?
Update 2: The project has been archived (i.e. dead) since June 2011 again.
Update: The project has been revived and is now under active development again.
Its pretty much dead due to a lack of developer support. Here are some recent posts from their mailing list talking about a lack of movement on the project.
What's happening? It's called NetBeans, and it's already happened.
I'm going to get voted down for this but they know it's true. I love eclipse and have used it religiously since I started Java. I'm not saying I like Netbeans, it's just all I hear whenever the concept of a Java visual editor is brought up.
The Jigloo plug-in for Eclipse is a pretty great alternative to the Visual Editor. Though still not quite as nice as the Netbeans GUI editor it is fairly robust and fully featured, especially compared to what was available in the Visual Editor plug-in. Definitely should give it a shot.
Actually NetBeans has gotten MUCH MUCH better. I've used Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ for a few years each, and NetBeans is at least as good (performance, usability & features) as the others now.
It's also improving more quickly than the others are.
They have people working full time on alternate language support, so you'll find they have the best Ruby support in the industry, and I believe Python is about to become that good as well.
Of course, Eclipse still has that crazy-cool todo list that remembers which files you worked on for each bug and can take you back to the set of files/edits for any bug you've worked on, that's really amazing to use and I don't think it's available on either of the other platforms.
--- Revision from years in the future ---
I have used Netbeans more and really have to give the award to Eclipse. The difference has been in vertical programming environments--most will target Eclipse and ignore netbeans. You rarely need these, but when you need them there is often no way around them. If Netbeans does have an equivalent, it's often buggy to the point of not being usable, generally the biggest issue is emulator support.
You won't run into these unless you are working in a specific industry--Android development is one, the primary drive was to support Eclipse, NB seems to trail. Another I've worked on is in the TV/Cable industry.
For raw java development, however, I'd still give Netbeans a little edge because it's the environment that was targeted and supported by sun.
Visual Editor is doing a new release, 1.4, on September 16. Installation instructions for the RC are here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Update
FWIW, the project did stall for a while. But there is a new, and relatively diverse group of folks working on it again. Most of the recent work is concerned with making the new release compatible with Eclipse Galileo.
It's officially dead as of May 2011. It's archived here, but slow to download and tricky to install. Instead, there's a new editor, WindowBuilder Pro.
Currentlty Google have Open Sourced the Windows Builder Pro. It seems nice
yeap,

Yes, sadly, it is dead. Looking at the aforementioned email threads regarding it's revival I get the feeling that even if it does get picked up it will quickly collapse under the weight of some new requirements ("make it universal, edit everything from SWT to HTML").
WindowBuilder can be a good alternative. I had several problems with VE and I end up with WindowBuilder who worked for me perfectly.
