This is an SBT 0.13 plugin which uses AutoPlugin and the ROME libraries to query websites for RSS feeds and display the titles inside SBT.
This is a fairly simple SBT plugin, and has lots of comments to show how you can add a command to SBT.
You can build and publish the plugin in the normal way to your local Ivy repository:
sbt publish-local
You must first download the git project and build it. It is not available in the maven repository.
In project/plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-rss" % "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
In build.sbt:
val myProject = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(SbtRss)
rssList := Seq(
"http://typesafe.com/blog/rss.xml",
"http://letitcrash.com/rss",
"https://github.com/akka/akka.github.com/commits/master/news/_posts.atom"
)
Once you have it installed, typing rss at an SBT prompt will show latest updates.
