Installing sbteclipse

i have problems top use sbteclipse

What I have done:

  • went to my global sbt folder.
  • created a plugins folder
  • created the file plugins.sbt with addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.1.0")
  • went to my eclipse project and created a build.sbt file
  • it contains:

name := "foo"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.9.2"

libraryDependencies += "net.java.dev.jna" % "jna" % "3.4.0"
  • I am selecting the project folder in my cmd. and type sbt eclipse

But I always get the following error

[error] Not a valid command: eclipse (similar: help, alias)
[error] Not a valid project ID: eclipse
[error] Expected ':'
[error] Not a valid key: eclipse (similar: deliver, licenses, clean)
[error] eclipse
[error]        ^

ps: I am using Windows. I am also using sbt 0.12

Solution

  • Your global sbt folder is at %USERPROFILE%\.sbt (C:\Users\<username>\.sbt most likely). So your plugins should be defined at %USERPROFILE%\.sbt\plugins\plugins.sbt

    Failing this you can add it to your project directly. Add the file path is <project_root>\project\plugins.sbt. If the project directory doesn't exist you will need to create it.
