DRY: Defining vals that I can reuse

[Joe Barnes]

Hey guys, I'd like to know the best way to define a val that I can reuse in other settings.  To be specific, I have about a dozen dependencies which have the same version.  So rather than paste the version all through my build.sbt file, I want to define it as a val or whatever and reuse it.  

Thanks,

Joe

Right now, the .sbt format doesn't allow val definitions to share between blank-line-delimited settings. But a single setting can be a block that internally defines a val:

libraryDependencies ++= {

  val version = "1.2"

  Seq(

    "com.acme" % "a" % version,

    "com.acme" % "b" % version

}

That looks perfect.  I should have thought about that.  Thanks!
