Scala sbt console - code changes not reflected in sbt console

Question

I use scala sbt console to test my methods. (commands : sbt then console) But the code changes done in eclipse or other external editor, are not getting reflected in the sbt console.

Every time, I have to quit the console (using Crt + D) and again start it using console command to see the changes.

Any one facing this problem? Is there any ways to reload the code from console?

I am using Ubuntu 64-Bit,

Not without using something like JRebel, mostly because class definitions could break in such a way as to make instances already loaded unusable. The only suggestion I have is to run the console with ~console so that if changes have been made they will be recompiled and the console re-entered.

Also if you're regularly running a set of commands the initialCommands sbt setting configures commands to be run immediately after starting the console.
