Why does Scala compilation get stuck in IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.3?

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.3 and am trying to compile a Scala 2.10.4 project. It compiles for a while, then the compile process hangs.

I can compile and run my project from the sbt console.

I already invalidated caches, cleaned the project, reinstalled IntelliJ IDEA and all plugins.

Any ideas why Intellij behaves like this?

Restart IntelliJ? restart machine? anything in event log? cpu high or low? – vikingsteve
How big is your project? Mine has around 50 classes and it doesn't hang up, it takes 3 or 4 minutes though which is much longer than compiling it with the console. – Ende Neu
I'm experiencing it, too and guess it's a sort of a bug in IDEA. I'm working with the latest build and sbt on the command line is the only rescue so far. I can't wait till they fix that. – Jacek Laskowski
The project has around 1000 files. – sebi

The problem was the Play Framework plugin. Uninstalling it did the trick.

Alternatively, you can try the Community Edition, as it does not have Play support at all.
