## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, configuration-management
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, programming-languages
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: sbt-plugin, intellij-idea, project-files, scala, ide-integration
