About:
SBT (Scala Build Tool) is an incremental build tool for Scala and Java projects. It uses a Scala-based DSL for defining build configurations, enabling powerful customization and automation. It manages dependencies, compiles code, runs tests, and publishes artifacts efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Incremental compilation to save time
  • Scala-based build definitions
  • Extensive plugin ecosystem
  • Dependency management and resolution
  • Interactive shell mode
Use Cases:
  • Building and packaging Scala applications
  • Managing multi-module project builds
  • Automating testing and deployment pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Maven – XML-based configuration, more rigid but widely used in Java ecosystem
  • Gradle – Groovy/Kotlin DSL, more flexible but heavier than SBT
