Answer 1

Answer found here. Apparently the gradle idea plugin needs to be told explicitely how to wire the dependencies.

To sum up :

1. Create a typical play layout
2. Add a build.gradle (as below)
3. Type gradle idea to generate idea's project files

4. Open the project in intellij

   plugins {
       id 'play'
       id 'idea'
   }
   
   repositories {
       jcenter()
       maven {
           name "typesafe-maven-release"
           url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/maven-releases"
       }
       ivy {
           name "typesafe-ivy-release"
           url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases"
           layout "ivy"
       }
   }  
   
   idea {
       module {
           sourceDirs += file("app")
           testSourceDirs += file("test")
           scopes.COMPILE = [plus: [configurations.play], minus: []]
           scopes.RUNTIME = [plus: [configurations.playRun], minus:[configurations.play]]
           scopes.TEST = [plus: [configurations.playTest], minus: [configurations.playRun]]
        }
   }
   

PS: tested with intellij 15.0.2 / gradle 2.10 / gradle play plugin
