Cannot see project.clj in leiningen project using intelliJ idea?

Question

I am using IntelliJ Idea 12.14 Community Edition on Windows 7. I have installed leiningen separately.

I was trying to create a new project using idea. I have also installed the La Clojure plugin and re started Idea several times.

Neither do I find options to create a Clojure project nor is the "project.clj" being visible to open project dialogue in intelliJ for an existing project.

Seems the project won't be openable until you also install the Leiningen plugin. The wiki shows it as browsable in the default repository but I didn't find it. I wound up just downloading it from here:

http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=5029

After install, the .clj file was openable as a project.

I did that sometime back but I am liking LightTable 0.4 more. I think for Clojure, it should be stable enough. – Amogh Talpallikar Aug 12 '13 at 05:58

There is no integration with leiningen, so you cannot open a project.clj directly. If you really want to use IDEA, I would recommend to either:

Use maven and the clojure-maven-plugin
Use lein pom to generate a pom.xml and then import that pom. This will give you a project with the proper dependencies and LaClojure will give you a repl, autocomplete, code navigation, etc. You will need to run lein pom when you change dependencies and use the command line for any other build commands.

I was following these steps in the jetbrains wiki. It nowhere mentions something like this. Anyways.. I will try this as well. Thanks. – Amogh Talpallikar Jul 23 '13 at 04:58
