javafx is now in oracle-jdk.
scalafx gives delicious examples in its repository
The main questions I'm not being able to answer is "How to get started with scalafx"?
How can I add scalafx libary dependencies on my sbt project?
ScalaFX is soon to reach a stable release state.
As I write this you can find the published artifacts for version 1.0.0-M2 on the maven central repo
Adding the dependency to your sbt build should suffice
libraryDependencies += "org.scalafx" %% "scalafx" % "1.0.0-M2"
I did it the following way: I cloned the scalafx repository, build the jar using sbt package, then just copied the resulting jar into lib/ directory of my project. Make sure to reference your ${JAVAFX_HOME}/lib/jfxrt.jar as well.
If you want to use local maven, just run sbt publish-local in your scalafx dir, then add the following dependency to your project:
"org.scalafx" % "scalafx" % "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
(Look up that version in scalafx build.sbt, I pasted what was in mine)
#ayvango i have created a giter8 scalafx project template.just use
g8 jugchennai/scalafx.g8
You just need a new version of JDK, Giter8 and SBT. Dependency settings for javafx, scala, scalafx are predefined! IDE support also available.

Disclaimer: I am new to sbt and Scala so I might be missing obvious things.
My objective here is to use the Scala compiler as a library from my main project. I was initially doing that by manually placing the scala jars in a libs directory in my project and then including that dir in my classpath. Note that at the time I wasn't using sbt. Now, I want to use sbt and also download the scala sources from github, build the scala jars and then build my project. I start by creating 2 directories: myProject and myProject/project. I then create the following 4 files:
The sbt version file:
// File 1: project/build.properties
sbt.version=0.13.17
The plugins file (not relevant to this question):
// File 2: project/plugins.sbt
addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-buildinfo" % "0.7.0")
The build.sbt file:
// File 3: build.sbt
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).
settings(
inThisBuild(List(
organization := "me",
scalaVersion := "2.11.12",
version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
)),
name := "a name"
).dependsOn(ScalaDep)
lazy val ScalaDep = RootProject(uri("https://github.com/scala/scala.git"))
My source file:
// File 4: Test.scala
import scala.tools.nsc.MainClass
object Test extends App {
println("Hello World !")
}
If I run sbt inside myProject then sbt will download the scala sources from github and then try to compile them. The problem is that the base-directory is still myProject. This means that if the scala sbt source files refer to something that is in the scala base-directory they won't find it. For example, the scala/project/VersionUtil.scala file tries to open the scala/versions.properties file that lies in the scala base-directory.
Question: How can I set sbt to download a github repo and then build it using that project's base-directory instead of mine's (by that I mean the base-directory of myProject in the above example) ??
Hope that makes sense.
I would really appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks in advance !
In the Scala ecosystem you usually depend on binary artifacts (libraries) that are published in Maven or Ivy repositories. Virtually all Scala projects publish binaries, including the compiler. So all you have to do is add the line below to your project settings:
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang" % "scala-compiler" % scalaVersion.value
dependsOn is used for dependencies between sub-projects in the same build.
For browsing sources you could use an IDE. IntelliJ IDEA can readily import Sbt projects and download/attach sources for library dependencies. Eclipse has an Sbt plugin that does the same. Ensime also, etc. Or just git clone the repository.
I want to use Intellij as Spark and Scala editor so I should create an SBT project. Scala and SBT plugins are installed, but the problem is when I create SBT project, at the first it try to fetch SBT plugins and dependencies from here but it stuck on sbt getting org.scala-sbt 0.13.13 step! sometime it progresses but finally errors time out! I have access to address SBT want get dependencies by browser and I want to know is it possible to download dependencies manually and put in the right place ?
You can find the detailed steps in this chapter of Scala Cookbook. In build.sbt file you should add a resolver key including the Ivy repository you want.
resolvers += "Your Repository" at "Repository Location"
I am trying to add this Scala Library into Eclipse so as to add available functions I can use on Actors.
I've downloaded the file and extracted it and tried adding it to my workspace in the project explorer, but when I try, Eclipse tells me it can't find any projects in the file. I'm sure that there is a tutorial or something online that explains exactly how to do this, but like I said, I'm not sure about all the terminology, so I don't know what to search for to get the result I want.
The easiest way is to create an sbt project and use the sbteclipse plugin.
Your project structure should look like this:
build.sbt
project/build.properties
project/eclipse.sbt
build.sbt
(note that lines of code should be separated by a white line)
name := "ProjectName"
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-async" % "0.9.2"
build.properties
sbt.version=0.13.5
eclipse.sbt
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.5.0")
Then from the root directory execute sbt and within the sbt command line execute eclipse or eclipse with-sources=true
You can use sbt-extras or activator to get a specialized version that will automatically download the correct sbt version based on the build.properties file.
You could add the sbteclipse plugin as a default plugin, making it available in all projects by creating eclipse.sbt in the ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins directory instead of the project directory
If you created your project via sbt, please follow the instruction on the github page of async. Namely, add this libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-async" % "0.9.2" to build.sbt, run sbt, regenerate eclipse files with "eclipse" command and finally re-import project into eclipse
I added the Mailer plugin to my Play Framework 2 project. It compiles and works fine, but IntelliJ can't resolve any of its classes. I would normally just add the jar as a module in my IntelliJ project settings, but I don't have a jar. As far as I understand, the plugin is automatically being pulled from some repository. So how do I make IntelliJ aware of it?
I added this to conf/play.plugins
1500:com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin
And this as a dependency in project/build.scala
"com.typesafe" %% "play-plugins-mailer" % "2.0.4"
I resolve problems like this with the sbt-idea SBT plugin. Just add this to your project/plugins.sbt file:
addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.2.0")
Then, whenever you change your project dependencies, run sbt idea and your IntelliJ project will be updated.
I had to delete the reference to com.github.mpeltonen in my plugins.sbt file first. Then as Bill said, I needed to run play idea. If I tried to run play idea without deleting the reference I got this exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.sbtidea.SbtIdeaPlugin$.ideaSettings()Lscala/collection/Seq;
I'm having a good time learning Scala, but I'm having the hardest time grasping how to set up a development environment.

What's the Scala equivalent with sbt?
I'm reading about sbt and how packages/imports/jar dependencies work in Java/Scala, but I can't seem to filter out the bare bones necessities.
What's the minimal file hierarchy to replicate the above with Scala?
Here's the Java Mechanize lib available on Maven: http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|mechanize
Once you run sbt and download the Mechanize dependencies, how to you discern the necessary import statements you need to get this to work?
val agent = new MechanizeAgent
val page: HtmlDocument = agent.get("http://www.google.com")
I got the above working in Eclipse by manually importing the .jars and then importing packages from the libraries until the compiler/runtime errors stopped and the agent worked. But that experience was discouraging and I've come here to repent.
Intent of this question: The Java ecosystem/workflow is overwhelming to me as someone that's used to Ruby's effortless, IDEless workflow. I think a bare bones equivalent would give me a place to start building upon.
Ideally, I'd like to get Scala development working with just Vim and the command line before becoming dependent on Eclipse.
sbt uses a library called ivy to import projects from the main maven repository. There are a few repositories sbt is preconfigured to work with, including the main maven repository.
Once these libraries are "resolved" (downloaded to your computer and hooked up to your project), the eclipse plugin will create dependencies to each jar in the eclipse project generated.
Here is how you configure it.
sbt Managed Dependencies
http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Basic-Def.html#adding-library-dependencies
Add a dependency in your project's build.sbt file. If you add a dependency that depends on a specific version of scala, use two %% between the group and artifact name. Don't forget to add an empty line between each command in your build.sbt file.
libraryDependencies += "com.gistlabs" % "mechanize" % "0.11.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "1.6.1" % "test"
Update the dependencies by running the update command:
$ sbt update
sbt Eclipse Plugin
https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse/wiki/Installing-sbteclipse
You can install the sbt eclipse plugin globally by creating a file at ~/.sbt/plugins/plugins.sbt and putting this line into it:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.1.0")
Whenever you add or update a dependency, run the following command and refresh your eclipse project:
$ sbt eclipse
I'd like to go a step farther than ffk's answer, do much more hand-holding, and actually provide the direct translation of the Ruby example to Scala + sbt.
File hierarchy
Crawler/
+- build.sbt
+- src/
+- main/
+- scala/
+- Crawler.scala
build.sbt
libraryDependencies += "com.gistlabs" % "mechanize" % "0.11.0"
Crawler.scala
import com.gistlabs.mechanize.MechanizeAgent
import com.gistlabs.mechanize.document.Document
object Crawler extends App {
val agent = new MechanizeAgent
val page: Document = agent.get("http://google.com")
}
Install dependencies and run it
$ sbt run
To make the project importable into Eclipse or IntelliJ, you need the sbteclipse-plugin or sbt-idea plugin. But rather than having to declare these plugins in every build.sbt for every new project, you can declare them in a global build.sbt:
// in ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.1.0")
addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.2.0")
Then, back in your Scala app's root directory:
$ sbt eclipse
or
$ gen-idea
Afterwards, you should be able to open it in the respective IDE.
Note: Whenever you add dependencies in your build.sbt, you'll need to rerun the sbt eclipse/gen-idea command so the IDE can pick it up.
