Bazillion is an opinionated alternative Bazel plugin for IntelliJ IDEA.
To allow for opening of any kind of project, the official bazel plugin needs to call bazel to get the required information which means that the information is always correct, but unfortunately these calls are often costly on large projects.
Bazillion chooses the other side of the tradeoff and builds the IntelliJ project structure by parsing the BUILD files directly. Bazillion also provides a first-class support for 3rd party dependencies.
- The files in each module should be places according to the standard directory layout.
- bazel-deps should be used as the 3rd party dependency provider.
This plugin is in alpha stage.
Contributions are always welcome!
