Simple Build Tool (sbt)

The Scala tribe seems to use sbt in place of make or ant.

Audit trail:

MD5 (sbt-launcher-0.5.5.jar) = e3593448b3be17ce1666c6241b8d2f90

The directory layout of this project follows sbt/maven conventions:

src/
  main/
    resources/
       <files to include in main jar here>
    scala/
       <main Scala sources>
    java/
       <main Java sources>
  test/
    resources
       <files to include in test jar here>
    scala/
       <test Scala sources>
    java/
       <test Java sources>

I haven't mastered library management; I just copied .jar files into some lib directories until things started working.

ScalaTest

ScalaTest is a leading test framework for Scala.

Audit trail:

68ab03f9109ef18c9dcce048da3d8dab  scalatest-0.9.5.zip

I unpacked it and put scala-test-1.0.jar in lib... or was it project/boot/scala-2.7.6/lib.

There seem to be some version skew issues between sbt and ScalaTest. For a work-around (that I have not yet tried), see: ScalaTest 1.0.

Emacs and Scala

With scala-mode, emacs helps with indentation and syntax coloring. With sbt.el, emacs can navigate compiler errors (with some glitches). My set-up is pretty rough; some notes:
