Using sbt as a library

Question

sbt has a bunch of useful utils in (for example) sbt IO - I would like to use them in my application. What is the artifact group / names / versions that I should reference? (This is almost impossible for Google ...) I looked at scala -tools.org, but I could only find 2.7 compatible versions (and I'm building project 2.9) - am I lucky? (At the moment, I can try copying the appropriate sources into my project if they are light enough to tease each other and deliver to 2.9.)

Answer 1

The Id group org.scala-sbt , as seen from https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/blob/0.12.1/project/Sbt.scala , but apparently the latest artifacts are not available in the Maven repository. It is best to build sbt yourself and install it in a local repository or just copy the source files to your project. The latest version of sbt (version 0.11) is used to use Scala 2.9 .
