This is the 2.0.0-M3 pre-release of sbteclipse, an sbt plugin for creating Eclipse project definitions.
Good news for those of you who were waiting for source attachments for lib entries: They are enabled again!
sbteclipse 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the 1.x branch.
The main difference is the ability to configure sbteclipse via settings in addition to options now. For example you can define skipParents as a setting now instead of applying it as an option every time you execute the command eclipse.
One other important change: sbteclipse 2.0.0 no longer uses different target directories. In 1.x the Eclipse project definition pointed to the .target folder by default. While this tried to avoid issues with both sbt and Eclipse working on the same files at the same time, it seemed to be confusing for users and probably overcautious.
These are the most important additional issues that were addressed:
- Issue #34: Use relative path for local libraries
- Issue #39: Add support for execution environments
- Issue #51 : Add support for configurations
- Issue #59: Add settings as an alternative to command options
- Issue #66: Add support for source attachments for lib entries again
- Issue #67: Split into core and library
- Issue #69: Add selective creation of non existing source directories
- Issue #71: Add support for pre tasks
- Issue #74: Replace classpathEntryCollector with more powerful classpathEntryTransformer
Please notice that this is a pre-release and not all features are fully implemented yet, e.g. the setting for the execution environment is not yet used.
