Add build step to Play 2.0 project (scala / sbt)

Question

I am writing a Play 2.0 project in Scala, and I need to run the command line tool before SBT decides what to compile (the command will create / replace the .scala file in the project with one generated from some data). I'm a complete newbie to SBT, and for some quick time at Google there was nothing promising. How can I do it?

Answer 1

To create sources before compilation, look at source generators:
