SBT Xsbt-web plugin not finding annotations - scala

I have created an atmosphere framework application. When I use Xsbt container:start it does not scan the assembly and find the annotations on my classes.
However, when I package the project as a war and deploy to tomcat, it works perfectly.
It looks like there is a classpath issue but I am not sure how to start diagnosing this. I'm not finding much by googling or tinkering
If I manually copy the classes into webapp/WEB-INF/classes and the libs into webapp/lib/ then the application works, but the debugging for atmosphere does not.
I know that sbt is adding my dependencies in /home/me/.ivy2

I fixed my problem by telling sbt to output my class files to the web-inf directory where atmosphere requires them to be put:
classDirectory in Compile := file("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes")

Chisel: Compiling Chisel library on Windows

I have been using sbt on windows and a custom build.sbt script in conjunction with an import Chisel._ in the top-level file in order to generate Verilog from my Chisel source successfully.
I'm trying to get an IDE working on Windows to expedite Chisel development. I've gone with the Eclipse based SCALA IDE http://scala-ide.org/download/sdk.html/
I want to compile the Chisel library so that the import Chisel._ can be resolved locally, without having to go off and download the source from the repository each timeand recompile the source. When I download the Chisel-master repo from Git and include the src\main folder in my SCALA project in the SCALA IDE, I get lots of syntax errors in the Chisel SCALA files that prevent me from building the project.
Has anyone done anything like this before on Windows or have any knowledge of working with the SCALA IDE as it may just be a case of undefined symbols in the project configuration?
Not sure exactly what you did with build.sbt respect to recompile (I think it download it only the first time, then it caches it for the future). But I'm using ScalaIDE for Chisel on linux, using the default build.sbt files, maybe you can try to get it working out of the box first to help narrow down the issue.
Here are the steps I took in order to get ScalaIDE work with Chisel:
the latest Scala IDE uses 2.11.8, the current Chisel repository defaults to 2.11.7. So I had to change all the build.sbt reference to scalaVersion from 2.11.7 to 2.11.8
I used sbteclipse
https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse
To create importable the workspace to setup the compilation dependencies.
Except for chiselFrontEnd. For some reason, this package is not added to the dependency. I have to Add chiselFrontEnd as a javabuildpath dependency manually (Properties/JavaBuildPath, under Projects) for my own projects.
To resolve undefined symbols, you can also add a JAR onto the project build path using Project Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add External JARs...
If you are getting your JARs through Maven / SBT, they should be in:
C:\Users\<name>\.ivy2\local\edu.berkeley.cs\chisel3_2.11\jars
If you are using publish-local with chisel3, your JARs should be in
C:\Users\<name>\.ivy2\cache\edu.berkeley.cs\chisel3_2.11\jars
Note that chisel3 is compiled into one JAR, including coreMacros and chiselFrontend sub-projects
Of course, this is a more quick-and-dirty solution compared to something that can parse SBT files.

Eclipse unresolved symbol with Play Framework

I'm a beginner user of Play Framework 2.1.3 and I have just created a new Java application and I have run play eclipse to generate the eclipse project for it. I have also tested so that it works by doing a play run.
So I'm following this tutorial and there is a step where you should add this piece of code:
public static Result index() {
return redirect(routes.Application.tasks());
}
But I'm getting the message "routes cannot be resolved". I have also tried play compile and in Eclipse doing a clean to no avail.
I was having the same trouble after the recent 2.4.X release of Play and the solution of cleaning/compiling/reimporting wasn't working. The solution for me was to:
Add the below keys to build.sbt
Kill eclipse
./activator clean
./activator compile
./activator eclipse
Re-import into eclipse
The problem is basically that the managed source directory wasn't being created, these lines fix the problem.
EclipseKeys.projectFlavor := EclipseProjectFlavor.Java // Java project. Don't expect Scala IDE
EclipseKeys.createSrc := EclipseCreateSrc.ValueSet(EclipseCreateSrc.ManagedClasses, EclipseCreateSrc.ManagedResources) // Use .class files instead of generated .scala files for views and routes
EclipseKeys.preTasks := Seq(compile in Compile) // Compile the project before generating Eclipse files, so that .class files for views and routes are present
run play clean-all from your project directory
run play eclipse from your project directory
refresh your eclipse project
Upgrade sbteclipse to version 5.1.0 (which was released on January 12th 2017) - it fixes this bug.
Probably some kind of classpath issue in your Eclipse setup. Anyway, you should not rely on Eclipse to compile your Play application, simply compile it from the console and use Eclipse for source code editing only. (BTW : there are way lighter IDEs then Eclipse if you don't use it for compilation)

Compile scala files from a sbt plugin

I am developing a sbt plugin. In this plugin I generate some new scala sources packaged in a sbt project. Then I need to compile these new files programaticaly so that I could add the generated class in my classLoader.
I do not find any way to compile programaticaly sources from a given sbt project path (and eventually from a classLoader) in the sbt API, something as simple as the sbt command (sbt compile) line would be very convenient, something like:
XXX.compile(path/to/sbt/project)
Thanks
I suggest you have a look at sbt-boilerplate which is an sbt plugin that generates code, works well and is really simple.
Here's a link to the file that you probably want to take a look at

can't compile play showcase html

I installed playN however I get this error:
[INFO] --- gwt-maven-plugin:2.4.0:compile (default) # playn-showcase-html ---
[ERROR] Error: Could not find or load main class com.google.gwt.dev.Compiler
I checked the m2 repository, and the gwt jars for 2.4 2.5 gwt seem to be there.
If I try to use GWT 2.5 in the project then I get this
The GWT SDK 'C:\Users\user.m2\repository\com\google\gwt' on the project's build path is not valid (Version is not supported, must be 2.0.0 or later)
playn-showcase-html
Unknown Google Web Toolkit Problem
Does this make sense at all?
How to fix it?
Thanks
It seems that some gwt jars in the maven repository were corrupted. I deleted them, i run the playN sample again, the jars were downloaded correctly, and the whole think worked
C:\Users\user.m2 <-- this is very strange. it looks like somehow your maven repository path is munged up.
Check your environmental variables for MAVEN_REPOSITORY and see if its set to C:\Users\user. Also, find your maven installation directory, and look under the conf directory for a settings.xml, and see if you have <localRepository>${env.MAVEN_REPOSITORY}/.m2/repository</localRepository>.

Getting IntelliJ IDEA understand SBT dependencies

I have SBT and Scala installed and things work well.
Now I have an IntellIJ IDEA project, which works otherwise OK except that dependencies which are downloaded into /Users/MyName/.ivy2/cache/ are not understood.
I tried setting the cache path as a source folder:
but still things don't work out:
As you can see, org.eclipse is in red color meaning it can't find it. It must be inside that .jar file I showed on the left.
I just want to update/download dependencies using SBT, and then get the compilation to work in IntelliJ IDEA with those dependencies.
Use the sbt-idea plugin for SBT. Then you can run "gen-idea" from the sbt command line and it will generate the metadata files used by IDEA. These files contain the locations of jars as SBT uses them so that IDEA will know where the dependencies are, just like SBT.
