I installed sbt
using brew install sbt
on Mac OS.
And the build.sbt
file for my app looks like this:
import NativePackagerKeys._
packageArchetype.java_application
name := """scala-getting-started"""
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.10.4"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.twitter" % "finagle-http_2.10" % "6.18.0",
"postgresql" % "postgresql" % "9.0-801.jdbc4"
)
What I really cannot understand is that sbt
needs to get package org.scala-sbt
if I want to compile the current app.
Hanfeis-MacBook-Pro:scala-getting-started hanfeisun$ sbt compile stage
Getting org.scala-sbt sbt 0.13.5 ...
downloading https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt/0.13.5/jars/sbt.jar ...
[SUCCESSFUL ] org.scala-sbt#sbt;0.13.5!sbt.jar (7322ms)
Shouldn't org.scala-sbt
already been installed when I install sbt
by brew install sbt
? Why does sbt
need to download the package of itself again?
Does anyone have ideas about this? Thanks!
Why does sbt need to download the package of itself again?
Because you can easily change SBT version, it has to be able to download JAR files for different SBT versions. So what you actually install is just a shell script which knows how to retrieve SBT launcher if it isn't already, and how to launch it if it is.
