I'm developing a simple SBT project that includes InputTasks for benchmarking Scala Parallel collections.
I have defined the InputKeys and started writing the tasks when I encountered a problem.
Since my benchmarks require Scala 2.10.0-M5, I tried doing this in my build.sbt:
name := "scala-parallel-collection-benchmark"
version := "1.0.0"
organization := "com.google.summer"
scalaVersion := "2.10.0-M5"
However, at compilation I get the following error:
[info] Loading project definition from C:\Users\Administrator\scala-parallel-collection-benchmark\project
[info] Compiling 1 Scala source to C:\Users\Administrator\scala-parallel-collection-benchmark\project\target\scala-2.9.1\sbt-0.11.3\classes...

[error] ^
[error] one error found
[error] {file:/C:/Users/Administrator/scala-parallel-collection-benchmark/project/}default-e0b2a2/compile:compile: Compilation failed
It appears that it still uses Scala 2.9.1 to compile it.
How can I set up SBT so it compiles my code using Scala 2.10.0-M5?
scalaVersion only impacts the version of Scala used to compile the "actual" source code (usually located in src/...). Your error comes from a part of the build definition (under project/), which is always compiled with the Scala version that sbt was built with.
You can't modify the version of Scala that is used to to compile the project definition, because it must be a version binary compatible with the version used to compile SBT itself. There's some flexibility being studied in this regard, but, right now, it's fixed.
The setting scalaVersion will change the version of Scala used to compile the project itself. The project can be compiled with completely different versions and, in fact, you can even have SBT compile your project with multiple Scala versions.
you can change the scala version in file "project/build.properties"
e.g. sbt.version=0.11.2

The problem here is that there is no release of ScalaFX 8/R14 that works with Scala 2.13.
Each Scala release, with the exception of bug-fix releases, has different binary compatibility requirements. So if you're using a Scala-built library with, say, Scala 2.13, you need the build of that library created for the same Scala version. Libraries created from Java code typically have binary compatibility with any version of Scala.
To determine which Scala versions are supported, they are listed in the column under Scala on Maven Central (the site linked to in your code above the libraryDependencies property):
You can resolve this problem either by switching to Scala 2.12, by changing the Scala version as follows:
scalaVersion := "2.12.12"
Or, you can use a more recent version of ScalaFX, that will work with Scala 2.13, by changing the library dependency as follows:
libraryDependencies += "org.scalafx" %% "scalafx" % "12.0.2-R18"
to use R18, or:
libraryDependencies += "org.scalafx" %% "scalafx" % "14-R19"
for R19.
A lot will depend upon which version of Java you are using. If you need to use Scala 2.13, with one of the more recent ScalaFX releases, I would recommend using Java 11 LTS. If you must use Java 8, then stay with the ScalaFX 8/R14 release and use Scala 2.12. Let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome to Scala version 2.10.5 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_31).
Type in expressions to have them evaluated.
Type :help for more information.

I get Scala version 2.10.5, as seen above.
How can I get sbt to build with (or use a separately installed) scala version, say v2.12.0-M3 ? I can't find instructions for this.
Thank you in advance.
As you can see in documentation SBT provides many ways to Configure and use Scala
Set the Scala version used for building the project
The scalaVersion configures the version of Scala used for compilation. By default, sbt also adds a dependency on the Scala library with this version. See the next section for how to disable this automatic dependency. If the Scala version is not specified, the version sbt was built against is used. It is recommended to explicitly specify the version of Scala.
For example, to set the Scala version to "2.9.2",
scalaVersion := "2.9.2"
Disable the automatic dependency on the Scala library
sbt adds a dependency on the Scala standard library by default. To disable this behavior, set the autoScalaLibrary setting to false.
autoScalaLibrary := false
Temporarily switch to a different Scala version
To set the Scala version in all scopes to a specific value, use the ++ command. For example, to temporarily use Scala 2.8.2, run:
> ++ 2.8.2
Use a local Scala installation for building a project
Defining the scalaHome setting with the path to the Scala home directory will use that Scala installation. sbt still requires scalaVersion to be set when a local Scala version is used. For example,
scalaVersion := "2.10.0-local"
scalaHome := Some(file("/path/to/scala/home/"))
Can you post your build.sbt please.
You should be able to declare the Scala by adding the following to build.sbt file
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
I'm having problems with my project which I think are due to intellij pulling in a load of scala 2.10 libraries when it created/if I reimport my project.
How can I configure it to either read the version of scala from build.sbt, or manually configure it to compile with scala 2.11.7? I'm running intellij IDEA 14 with the latest updates and it always uses scala 2.10.4.
Make sure you have your Scala Version set in your build.sbt
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
The rest works seemlessly. Enable "Auto-Import" in IDEA when creating the project.
The 2.10 libraries are used by SBT itself. If you check the Dependencies tab for your modules, you shouldn't see them. If you do, you likely have an error in libraryDependencies in build.sbt.
I am having problems compiling a Java dependency loaded via GIT:
object ApplicationBuild extends Build {
lazy val project = Project("root", file(".")).dependsOn(RootProject(riakJavaClient))
lazy val riakJavaClient = uri("git://github.com/basho/riak-java-client")
}
The error I am receiving from sbt compile is:
[info] Compiling 134 Java sources to /Users/lawrencewagerfield/.sbt/0.13/staging/da0e66c4764a467c8977/riak-java-client/target/scala-2.10/classes...

[error] * Riak 0.12 introduced ???symbolic??? consistency options for R and W
SBT seems to be executing javac with an encoding that is incompatible with the source files in this dependency.
I have tried adding the following to build.sbt, but it is having no effect (error is the same):
javacOptions ++= Seq("-encoding", "UTF-16") // Note: I have tried with UTF-8 too
Does the above only apply to source files within my project? Any idea how to get pass this issue?
TL;DR How do I get my Java dependencies compiling with the correct encoding?
You are correct that the setting only applies to source files in your project. If the project part of the scope isn't specified, which is typical, it defaults to the enclosing project. To have a setting apply to another project, scope it to that project. For example,
javacOptions in riakJavaClient ++= Seq("-encoding", "UTF-8")
You can verify that your options are being used with last. For example,
sbt> last compile
To run commands like the above on a project from git, change to it using project (see help project for details).
I have put these in the build.sbt file under current project's root directory
scalaHome := Some(file("/Users/ddam/scala-2.10.2"))
scalaVersion := "2.10.2"
And I ran sbt using
$ sbt --version
sbt launcher version 0.12.4
But still, I am seeing both the wrong version for sbt and scala when a particular dependency cannot be resolved
[warn] Note: Some unresolved dependencies have extra attributes. Check that these dependencies exist with the requested attributes.
[warn] com.typesafe.sbteclipse:sbteclipse-plugin:2.4.0 (sbtVersion=0.12, scalaVersion=2.9.2)
Please help me.
It looks like sbteclipse requires SBT 0.13.0, and you are using version 0.12.4.
You can specify the SBT version by following the directions on this page.
Some other notes: You probably want to use Scala 2.10.3, not 2.10.2.
Also, it's strange to specify scalaHome; usually SBT will automatically fetch the needed Scala jars for you.
So to bootstrap a Scala environment, all you need to have installed are SBT and a JDK.
EDIT: (addressing comment below):
When you build code with SBT, you may actually use two different versions of Scala.
There is the version for SBT (what version of Scala the build system runs on), and the version for the code in your project (what version of Scala your code will run on).
The Scala version for SBT is determined by the SBT version you use.
If you use 0.12.4, SBT will run on Scala 2.9.3.
If you use 0.13.0, SBT will run on Scala 2.10.3.
You control the SBT version by following these instructions.
To control the version of Scala your project will run on, you can set scalaVersion in <projectRoot>/build.sbt.
So, you're getting that error because you're using SBT 0.12.4, which uses Scala 2.9.3.
SBT tries to find the sbteclipse plugin for 2.9.3, but it doesn't exist because it requires SBT 0.13.0 (=> Scala 2.10.3).
It seems you've correctly specified the use of Scala 2.10.2 for compiling your project.
sbt 0.12.4 always uses Scala 2.9.x to compile the build files (i.e. build.sbt and the stuff under project/). This means that plugins for sbt 0.12.x must also be compiled against 2.9.x, which explains what you're seeing.
sbteclipse 2.4.0 requires sbt 0.13. Try sbteclipse 2.2.0 if you want to stay on sbt 0.12.4.
emchristiansen's answer has good additional points.
