An sbt plugin that generates IntelliJ IDEA project files (.ipr/.iml) from sbt project definitions. It handles multi-project dependencies, source/javadoc classifiers, and configurable exclusions.

Use cases

• generate IntelliJ IDEA project files from an sbt build
• open a Scala sbt project in IntelliJ IDEA
• create IDEA project files for multi-module sbt projects
• attach dependency sources and javadocs to an IDEA project
• exclude folders like .idea from generated project files

When to choose

• you use sbt 0.12/0.13 and want IDEA project files generated from your build
• you maintain a legacy Scala codebase that still relies on .ipr/.iml project files

When to avoid

• you use modern sbt 1.x, where IntelliJ's built-in sbt/BSP import works without this plugin
• you use Metals, VS Code, or other editors instead of IntelliJ IDEA
• you need an actively maintained plugin
