Play2 project in Intellij 12

Question

Can someone explain me how to import your idea project for Play2 support on Intellij 12?

I've just bought the upgrade from version 10 to 12. It used to work fine with Intellij 10 (with scala support only). When using play idea and importing the project on Intellij 12 it doesn't seem to work, there is no more highlighting, even in scala files that were actually working with version 10.

It seems I'm not the only one to have troubles with Play2 support in Intellij 12 so if someone can help it would be nice :)

Answer 1

Please check that you have installed Scala and Play 2.0 Support plug-ins from the repository.

Then check that .scala extension is assigned to Scala Files in Settings | File Types.
