Trying to open Intellij IDEA lift project generated with gen-idea

I'm trying to get an use the Intellij IDEA for a lift project. I've installed both the sbt and scala plugins and most recently I've followed the instructions here https://github.com/lift/lift_25_sbt. When I open the project, it seems to hang when trying to index the files. It's taking a lot of CPU as well. Not exactly sure where to go from here. I'm using Scala 2.9.2 and Intellij 12. Can someone please help!

Thanks!

JetBrains offers scant support for superceded versions of IDEA (and any plugins). Since 12.0 is the current version, I'd go with that. I can scarcely remember all the shortcomings in the 10.x era, but it has improved steadily since then.

Since IDEA's Scala support is equal in the Community (free, open-source) and Ultimate (commercial) versions, there's little reason not to move up.

Additionally, I don't even know whether the sbt-idea plug-in generates project files that can be read by that old a version of IDEA.

Update

JetBrains now has EAP (early access program) versions of IDEA 12.1. I'm using it and the latest Scala plug-in EAP releases daily and it works well. Progress continues apace...
