Thanks for the response mark. I've taken a good look at SBT and have been pretty impressed to be honest - its nice and clean.
I really like the packaged jar which can "unpack" and then you have a fully working SBT project - that would make distribution very very nice indeed. However, after chatting with Nathan, he concurred with me that the only downside of such packages vs archetypes is that right now there is no way to set your own package name etc etc as you can with maven archetypes. He mentioned that it would be likely for SBT to get some kind of code- generation feature with the next few months - if this is the case, SBT would really rock as the main build system for lift based applications IMO as it would just be so easy to get started.
