I'd like to start a Play 2.4.2 project in IntelliJ, but when I create a Play application through the project wizard it uses Play 2.3.8. I checked the scala plugin and it is version 1.5.2, so I tried to update it to 1.7.1 to see if that made a difference, but got the response that it's not compatible with the current version. Same response with 1.6.1. I don't understand why since I'm using the latest version of IntelliJ.
I'm thinking of creating a Play 2.4.2 project and then importing it, but will this cause problems with IntelliJ? Thanks for any advice on the best way to approach this - I'm obviously v. new to all this, and can't find any similar issues anywhere with solutions to try.
No, creating project with Activator won't cause any problems and is expected way to do this, just after creating it import id to IntelliJ as a SBT project (choose SDK version 1.8 and also check options to download sources and docs for easier work)
