Seeking input from Metals users about build importing.

By multiple subprojects are they independent builds? Or just one big build with nested build files? I actually have a discussion related to this in here. Please to jump in there if that's the same issue you're having and comment on your situation. It'll be helpful to determine how to address it.

Use nvim-metals
elixir.nvim

elixir.nvim is a langauge plugin for Elixir. It is similar to nvim-metals in that is manages ElixirLS (Elixir's language server) and provides a complete experience over nvim-lspconfig.

debugpy.nvim: Command and API frontend to nvim-dap and Debugpy (debugging Python)
4 projects | /r/neovim | 17 Dec 2021

But I haven't yet set up anything properly other than Debugpy. nvim-dap is very barebones, so I feel that the best way is to have an extra configuration plugin on top. Debugpy.nvim is a very specific frontend plugin, but there are also more general plugins like nvim-metals and vim-ultest which also offer integration with nvim-dap.
What's your preferred setup/process (IDE, settings, etc) for working in Scala?
5 projects | /r/scala | 30 Nov 2021

Yeah it's pretty good already and getting newer features everyday. I didn't want to hook up the vim I use everyday to a heavy editor so installed neovim alongside vim on my system and use this https://github.com/scalameta/nvim-metals (which I believe is the metals official way) and it's super straight forward to use.
How do you deal with poorly documented plugins?
6 projects | /r/neovim | 31 Oct 2021

Every software project is WIP to some extent, but that doesn't stop Neovim itself from having really high standards in documentation. A lot of Neovim plugins also have really high standards, such as nvim-metals.
