Get Started With Scala, Sbt And Eclipse

Toggle fullscreen for clearer text.

Getting started with any programming language is a daunting task, let alone configuring your workstation to create a non-trivial application. I spent a few days reading and trying many Scala tools and libraries. I share some of my findings in this screencast.

This screencast covers how to create a Scala console-based project. I use the simple-build-tool (sbt) to compile, run, test and and then eclipsify a project. I briefly cover where to put source code, tests and how to edit and debug the project within the Eclipse IDE.

Preqrequisites

Must be installed

Optional

Steps

  1. Clone OR download/extract source from sbt-console-template

     % git clone git@github.com:mgutz/sbt-console-template.git your-project

  2. From sbt console

     # update dependencies
 > update

 # run project
 > run

 # test project continuously
 > ~test

 # eclipsify
 > eclipse
