Documentation for jberkel's original (from which this is forked) is here.

A tutorial for the sbt-android plugin is here.

This is a little different from the original, with defaults tweaked to my preferences. Differences include, but are not limited to:

• Uses sbt-android plugin version 0.7
• Default scala version 2.10.3
• Default Android platform is 15
• Default scalac compiler options are:
  • -deprecation
  • -feature
  • -language:implicitConversions
  • -unchecked
• Default javac compiler options is -Dscalac.patmat.analysisBudget=off
• System property scalac.patmat.analysisBudget is set to 512
• Default Proguard settings:
  • Proguard is configured to read its configuration from file named project/proguard.cfg
  • The project/proguard.cfg file includes my current idea of an approprate set of defaults, in the optimality of which at this time of writing I have rather little confidence.
• By default the sbt plugin ensime-sbt-cmd is activated (version 0.1.0)
