official sbt 2.5 template

[Diego Medina]

Hi,

I started working on a 2.5 sbt template to replace the 2.4 templates
we have under the lift organization and I have a question, does anyone
use the RunWebApp, LiftConsole and AppTest objects? I', thinking of
removing them and instead use specs2 to show test examples.

And I'm on the edge between adding the idea and eclipse plugins or
not. On one hand I don't want to because some people may not use any
of those IDEs, on the other hand I have been very happy with the
IntelliJ plugin and would really recommend users to use it.

Oh, I did upgrade them to sbt 0.11.3 and removed the 2.8.x folder as
Lift 2.5 will be 2.9.x+
Also upgraded h2 and logback. And I'll add a sample logback xml config file.

Thanks

Diego

Great changes. +1 for specs2 sample instead of those objects. In fact, I already use a specs2 sample from you as starting point of my Lift projects.

Cool!

+1 for specs2. Even I remove them 1st thing on a new project.

I use RunWebApp a lot. Not to run tests, though, but because it's much,
much faster than "mvn jetty:run", also with JRebel.

wow, good to know, good thing I asked :)

Is it faster than sbt container:start?

Because if I understand correctly this is about the sbt starter project, not the maven archetype, so that's really what matters.

I use RunWebApp whenever I need to debug in Eclipse. If anyone knows of a way to debug in Eclipse without using this, I'd be glad to hear it.

[Jeppe Nejsum Madsen]

So do I, for the same reasons

[Alexej Bondarenko]

Hey, IntelliJ idea plugin would be great!

+1 idea

-1 eclipse 

;)

And yes, specs2 is absolutely ok!

Alexej

[Damian Helme]

also +1 for the eclipse plugin

[Peter Petersson]

When I want to debug i run it from Eclipse with the following setup (no
need for the RunWebApp for this setup)

If Diego decides to include IDE sbt plugins I think he aims for adding
them both, its not a IDE contest ;)
Makes sense to me so
+1

Yes, even though I don;t use Eclipse, I'm adding both, Eclipse and Intellij.
RE; RunWebApp, even though there are other ways to debug a Lift
application, if people are using RunWebApp, I'll include it, but as
I'm updating Jetty, I'll modify it so that it will run a newer Jetty
(7.x I think)

Thanks for the feedback!

We should add both.

People need choices.

Diego,

What about adopting giter8 for this (https://github.com/n8han/giter8/)?

Thanks,
Mads

[Everson Alves da Silva]

+1 - giter8 templates would be awesome

Maybe as an additional template, but I don't have g8 in my mac, and so
far I haven't needed it. I think I can install g8 with some other 2
letter script, but I don't have that either :)
I do like the idea behind g8, but I didn't want new users to have to
install more things before they can just try Lift.

Thanks

Diego

I can understand that. I think it would be nice to have both
and I don't mind creating a giter8 template from your project
when you're done and maintain it by cherry-picking if the
community thinks it's an nice idea.

A lot of Scala projects provide giter8 templates and I'd like
to see it as the goto tool for project scaffolding and as such
I think it would be nice to support it as well :)

Yes, definitely, I also like the idea of adopting what the scala
community adopts (unless there are serious drawbacks), would you
create a new branch on this same repo for the giter8?

....and ... Welcome back!

Diego

[Mads Hartmann Jensen]

Thanks! :)

Yes, I think that might be the easiest to do. Will you let me know
when the template is done?

I'm done :)

I want to add the boostrap css theme, but that may take a while, so I
think yu can go ahead and work o giter8 templates based on the
current work.

Thanks
