Auto Import support about intellij-pants-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

This is certainly true. Question: will intellij do it automatically for files of other types ie .scala and .java?

from intellij-pants-plugin.

We will configure it. We don't need to refresh for java and scala files. We need to refresh to regenerate definitions for thrift. And of course for BUILD files because project structure might be changed.

from intellij-pants-plugin.

yes. Intellij Scala plugin will take care of incremental compilation when scala and java sources are changed.

All we care about is:

1. When a 3rdParty external Dependency is added. -- Change in Build File
2. When a internal dependency is added -- Change in Build File
3. When a thrift file in the dependency is changed. -- Change in thrift sources
   ( This will require scrooge gen to generate a new scala/java library.)

I bet it will do it even faster than raw pants because it can compile modules in parallel. We need some benchmarks for 1.0 release to pitch the plugin :-D
