This is an sbt plugin for building Scala modules (scala-xml, scala-parser-combinators, and so on).

The major benefit of the plugin is to provide automated tag-based publishing. A release is made by pushing a tag to GitHub. Travis then stages artifacts on Sonatype. Pressing "Close" and "Release" in the Sonatype web UI will then send the artifacts to Maven Central.

Add the plugin to the project/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("org.scala-lang.modules" % "sbt-scala-module" % "1.0.12") 

Then, in your build.sbt add:

import ScalaModulePlugin._ scalaModuleSettings // in a multi-project build, you might want to apply these settings only to the // main project (example: scala-parallel-collections) name := "<module name>" repoName := "<GitHub repo name>" // the repo under github.com/scala/, only required if different from name organization := "<org>" // only required if different from "org.scala-lang.modules" version := "<module version>" // The plugin uses `scalaVersionsByJvm` to set `crossScalaVersions in ThisBuild` according to the JVM major version. // The `scalaVersion in ThisBuild` is set to `crossScalaVersions.value.head`. scalaVersionsByJvm in ThisBuild := { val v211 = "2.11.11" val v212 = "2.12.2" val v213 = "2.13.0-M1" // Map[JvmMajorVersion, List[(ScalaVersion, UseForPublishing)]] Map( 6 -> List(v211 -> true), 7 -> List(v211 -> false), 8 -> List(v212 -> true, v213 -> true, v211 -> false), 9 -> List(v212, v213, v211).map(_ -> false)) } mimaPreviousVersion := Some("1.0.0") // enables MiMa (`None` by default, which disables it) OsgiKeys.exportPackage := Seq(s"<exported package>;version=${version.value}") // Other settings 

These additional settings are enabled by scalaModuleSettings:

• scalacOptions in (Compile, compile) ++= Seq("-feature", "-deprecation", "-unchecked", "-Xlint")
• A projectName.properties file is generated and packaged
• fork in Test := true to work around some classpath clashes with scala-xml
• publishTo sonatype, credentials file expected in ~/.ivy2/.credentials
• POM and OSGi metadata

The following settings are also available:

• enableOptimizer adds -opt:l:classpath or -optimize to scalacOptions in (Compile, compile), depending on the Scala version
• disablePublishing is useful for multi-project builds for projects that should not be published

Tag the release and add release notes to https://github.com/scala/sbt-scala-module/releases

• Sign in to Bintray (https://bintray.com/login) or create an "Open Source" account (https://bintray.com/signup/oss)

• Check if you have a repository named sbt-plugins. If not, create it (Name: sbt-plugins, Type: Generic).

• Make sure the current HEAD is a tagged revision. In sbt, version (set by sbt-git) should be according to a tag.

  > version [info] 1.0.12 

• Run publish in sbt. If you don't have a ~/.bintray/.credentials file, the sbt-bintray plugin will ask you for your username and API key. The API key can be obtained under "Edit Profile" (https://bintray.com/profile/edit). The sbt-bintray plugin saves credentials to ~/.bintray/.credentials for future use.

• If you haven't done so before, add your package for this plugin (https://bintray.com/YOUR_USERNAME/sbt-plugins/sbt-scala-module) to the community sbt repository (https://bintray.com/sbt/sbt-plugin-releases). Otherwise you're done, the release is available.

  • Check if you added your package by searching for "sbt-scala-module" in the repository.
  • If you cannot find your package, click "Include My Package"
  • Search for your plugin (sbt-scala-module)
  • Click "Send" to send the request
