When new module is added, scala is chosen:

When new class is created, however, when trying to run it, i get

Looking as module properties, i see

What am i missing please?

You might try selecting "Application" while adding a new configuration, instead of "Scala Script". (BTW, if you can type "scala" at the console prompt and it starts your environment is probably OK.) — Keith Pinson, Oct 14 '12 at 03:03

Two things:

You should have an object declared somewhere (preferably outside of the class).

object runnableObject {
    def main(args: Array[String]) {
        println("Hello world!")
    }
}

You can then use this object to run your Scala code in IntelliJ.

I am getting "Cannot resolve symbol Array". It looks almost as if my JVM is not set up right – James Raitsev Oct 13 '12 at 23:59
Definitely. Make sure your JVM is pointing to the proper location, or you'll get errors like that all day. – Makoto Oct 14 '12 at 00:02
Where in IDEA i can confirm that things are well? What do you have listed under "Libraries"? – James Raitsev Oct 14 '12 at 00:05
@CrazyCoder My SDK is set up and points to 1.7. Note i have no issues with Java projects – James Raitsev Oct 14 '12 at 00:06

Of notable importance would be the scala-2.9.2/lib JAR files. – Makoto Oct 14 '12 at 00:06
@Makoto Indeed. I explicitly pointed to libs and all went well. Thank you sir – James Raitsev Oct 14 '12 at 00:10
