Hi all,
Have you, guys, considered building ESME with Simple Build Tool:
http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/ , at least locally?
SBT has several pros and cons.
Pros:
- Native Scala support -> no Scala plugin
- There is no need to recompile all project files, only changed ones -> more
faster build&run
- Buildfile is written in Scala instead of verbose XML -> buildfile is
shorter
Cons:
- SBT is based on Apache Ivy (while it includes Maven repo by default and
can access local Maven repo)
- I have no idea whether integration of SBT with VCS and CI tools is
possible
Probably many more cons exist
I managed to build, run tests and run ESME app on jetty with SBT (of course
I was able to perform only minimal testing). As an example, here is my SBT
project file below:
import sbt._
class EsmeProject(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultWebProject(info) {
val liftVersion = "2.2-RC4"
val compassVersion = "2.1.1"
val luceneVersion = "2.4.0"
val mavenLocal = "Local Maven Repository" at
"file://"+Path.userHome+"/.m2/repository"
val scalatoolsSnapshot = ScalaToolsSnapshots
val compassRepo = "Compass Repository" at "http://repo.compass-project.org
"
val twitterRepo = "Twitter Repository" at "http://maven.twttr.com";
def extraResources = "LICENSE" +++ "NOTICE"
override def mainResources = super.mainResources +++ extraResources
override def ivyXML =
<dependencies>
<dependency org="net.lag" name="configgy" rev="2.0.1">
<exclude org="org.scala-tools" module="vscaladoc"/>
</dependency>
<dependency org="com.twitter" name="ostrich" rev="2.3.2">
<exclude org="org.scala-tools" module="vscaladoc"/>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
override def libraryDependencies = Set(
"net.liftweb" %% "lift-util" % liftVersion % "compile->default",
"net.liftweb" %% "lift-webkit" % liftVersion % "compile->default",
"net.liftweb" %% "lift-widgets" % liftVersion % "compile->default",

"org.apache.derby" % "derby" % "10.5.3.0_1" % "compile->default",
"org.mortbay.jetty" % "jetty" % "[6.1.6,)" % "test->default",
"junit" % "junit" % "3.8.1" % "test->default",
"junit" % "junit" % "4.4" % "test->default",

"org.scala-tools.testing" %% "specs" % "1.6.6" % "test->default"
) ++ super.libraryDependencies
}
Of course I didn't add many infrastructural tags comparing with Maven pom.
I thought that this might be interesting for someone or may be somebody
would wish to share any ideas, make any suggestions, comments etc. Otherwise
please consider it as a spam.
