For example, I want to set a key in the build definition, which one should I put the setting in? The build.sbt
in the root directory? Or the build.sbt
in project
directory?
I think both will work. Is there any reason that I could prefer one to the other?
sbt is an open-source build tool for Scala and Java projects, similar to Apache's Maven and Ant.
sbt is a popular tool for compiling, running, and testing Scala projects of any size. Using a build tool such as sbt (or Maven/Gradle) becomes essential once you create projects with dependencies or more than one code file.
Create or open your sbt project. In the Project tool window, in the source root directory, locate the build. properties file and open it in the editor. In the editor explicitly specify the version of sbt that you want to use in the project.
sbt is an open source build tool for Scala and Java projects, similar to Java's Maven or Ant. Its main features are: native support for compiling Scala code, and integration with many Scala test frameworks.
The project
folder should not contain build.sbt
, only plugins.sbt
and .scala
files. The Scala files are typically used to create some common object with vals that are used in several builds throughout your project. I also usually create a dev.sbt
that contains plugins that I'm using for development, and that file stays out of version control.
