Emacs

I cannot really work without emacs. I am using emacs since about 1994 when a colleague introduced me to emacs. For me, the true meaning of emacs is "editore maximo" - the best editor. Anyway, today I was trying some scala code and got frustrated that I could not get out of :paste mode by typing Ctrl-D in my emacs 22. I just downloaded an emacs 24.x found on the railwaycat / emacs-mac-port|download page and this is great.

Play Framework

Learning to use the Play framework

I am trying to learn the Play framework today as a colleague recommended it.

I just installed play by typing brew install play on my Mac.

I just created a hello play project but I cannot import it directly in intellij.

I am being hit by the fact that the sbt plugin of IntelliJ does not support yet sbt 0.13. see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-6070

So one has to use the "com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.0.0" plugin and its gen-idea task to create the IntelliJ Idea module definition for a play application.
