What's the best way to distribute SBT-based REPL application?

[Allen Nie]

Hi!

    I'm writing a Scala library for my co-workers at a lab. I noticed that using "initialCommands" and "sbt console" can launch a Scala-REPL with access to the code I write as well as library dependencies. Most of the co-workers know how to use R, so I imagine REPL would be the best tool for them to use.

    However, I'm having trouble with SBT. It seems that SBT will always try to find the "build.sbt" file under the current directory, or it will try to find library jars in "./libs" directory. When I distribute it, I hope it only contains a jar file, and a couple of files (like a "build.sbt", a bash script for Unix or Cygwin, a batch script for Windows). Is this the best way to proceed? If so, what should I include In "build.sbt"?

Sincerely,

Allen

Sbt realy isnt' meant to be sent as a deliver mechanism.   Instead, we have the sbt launcher which can launch applications.

Additionally, there's lots of mecahnisms for packaging up a single JAR which can run the Scala REPL.

I'd recomend looking into sbt-assembly and how to embedd the scala interpreter in your own main method.
