> Scafolding of a scala project should rely on "sbt new"
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-7434
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7434
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.3.2
> Reporter: Svend Vanderveken
> Priority: Minor
>
> h2. Issue:
> Currently, the documentation for [scafolding a new scala
> project|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/quickstart/scala_api_quickstart.html#sbt]
> refers to 3 methods providing an equivalent basic project:
> 1) installing and using giter8 to generate it from [this giter8
> template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project.g8]
> 2) cloning [this other template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project]
> 3) using the [sbt-quickstart.sh|https://flink.apache.org/q/sbt-quickstart.sh]
> script
> This works, though implies 3 templates need to be maintained in parallel and
> simpler methods now exist
> h2. Suggested solution
> - the documentation for the template related to method 1) above has recently
> been updated: we can now generate projects from it with a simple {{sbt new}}
> command line statement. Using {{sbt new}} is more natural to the end use
> since it does not require to install giter8, and sbt is more likely to be
> installed already.
> - I think we should remove method 2) since it is essentially equivalent to
> method 1), with the drawback that the version numbers are hard-coded inside
> it, as opposed to a parameter-based giter8 template
