sbt is a simple build tool for Scala projects that aims to do the basics well. It requires Java 1.5 or later.

Features

• Fairly fast, unintrusive, and easy to set up for simple projects
• Configuration is done in Scala
• The default source directory layout is the same as maven's so you can always switch to maven should you need/want to
• Regardless of what sources you have added, changed, or removed, sbt should (in theory) recompile the right sources using information extracted from compilation with a compiler plugin
• Supports ScalaCheck, specs, and ScalaTest.
• Can generate documentation with scaladoc
• Packages jars (classes, sources, or api docs)
• Can start the Scala interpreter with the right classpath (dependencies and compiled classes)
• Multiple project/subproject support
• Supports mixed Scala/Java projects
• Parallel task execution, including parallel test execution
• Dependency management support: basic inline declarations, configuration with Maven (partial support) or Ivy, or manual management.
