Import a build from Pants BUILD files

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I do Import a build I would like to import from a Pants BUILD file

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see Pants build system a first-class citizen next to sbt, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using IntelliJ, but would love to use Code for Scala

I think it was already implemented and should be available with a new release: scalameta/metals#1758

If multiple builds systems are present in a project you are prompted to select one you want to use. Your choice will stay persisted and you don't have to choose again and again.

Can you check if version: https://scalameta.org/metals/docs/editors/vscode.html#using-latest-metals-snapshot
works okay for you? And if you find any problems report it as issues in metals repo?

Very happy to see devs are one step ahead :D (all thanks to @ckipp01)

While the pr listed will help detect spaces that contain more than one build file, it doesn't technically do anything extra for pants except maybe help detecting the workspace if it's alongside of another existing build definition. I know @olafurpg has said some stuff in the past about Pants, documented support, etc. So he'll probably know the most about it and be able to weigh in.

Thank you for reporting! Pants is not supported at the moment. We have an experimental integration this is still evolving and it’s still unclear what version of pants it will require. IntelliJ is the recommended alternative.
