title: Play Framework 2.4 and IntelliJ Idea
body: <p>I am trying to open a play 2.4 project in IntelliJ but since things have changed I don't know how to do this.</p>
  
  <p>In previous versions I could just run</p>
  
  <pre><code>activator idea
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or use the activator UI and click on generate intelliJ project, but in 2.4 the idea command doesn't seem to exist</p>
  
  <pre><code>[error] Not a valid command: idea (similar: eval, alias)
  [error] Not a valid project ID: idea
  [error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
  [error] Not a valid key: idea (similar: clean)
  [error] idea
  [error]     ^
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the UI seems broken, when I click on generate intelliJ project it tries to compile the app and gives this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>play/Play$
  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: play/Play$
  Use 'last' for the full log.
  Failed to load project.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I created the project from scratch using the play java template with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>activator new
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried importing the folder as a project but intelliJ doesn't seem to identify it as a project</p>
