+Building Dotty with Intellij IDEA
+=================================
+Dotty compiler support is available in the [Scala plugin nightly] starting
+from 2.2.39. You need to install [IDEA 2016.1] to try it.
+
+## To create a new project with Dotty
+
+1. Open New Project dialog and select `Scala` > `Dotty`
+2. Proceed as usual and don't forget to create or select Dotty SDK.
+
+## To compile an existing Scala project with Dotty
+
+1. Create a new Dotty SDK:
+   `Project Structure` > `Global libraries` > `New Global Library` > `Dotty SDK`
+2. Replace Scala SDK with Dotty SDK in:
+   `Project Structure` > `Modules` > `Dependencies`
+
+Java 1.8 should be used as the Project/Module SDK. You also need to enable the
+Scala Compile Server to use Dotty compiler.
+
+## Notes
+* Dotty support is experimental, many features including code highlighting and
+  worksheet are not ready yet.
+* You can download the latest version of Dotty without creating a new Dotty SDK
+  with the `Update snapshot` button in the Dotty SDK library settings.
+* Please report any problems to the [IntelliJ Scala issue tracker] or write
+  to the [IntelliJ Scala gitter]
