IntelliJ - Remote Scala Compile Server

Question

Is there a way to have a remote machine act as a Scala compile server using IntelliJ?

IntelliJ has the option to use an external compile server, but this is machine local as far as I can tell.

I am wondering if this could be done with the help of sbt-server, but this is not a requirement.

Answer 1

This use case is not supported by the compile server in the IntelliJ Scala plugin. It may be possible with the sbt 1.0 server functionality, but I believe it's not designed with this in mind either. It would require both the project files and the server to be available on the remote box, which is probably not what you had in mind.
