Joshua Suereth and Matthew
Farwell discuss SBT (Simple Build Tool) and their
new book SBT in Action. They first look at the factors
creating a need for build systems and why they think SBT—a new
addition to this area—is a valuable contribution in spite of the
vast number of existing build tools. Host Tobias Kaatz,
Joshua, and Matthew then discuss how parallel execution of highly
customizable tasks can both solve complex build problems and
cause issues for programmers who aren't used to working in such
an environment. The remainder of the show covers dependency
management, and especially the influence of Apache Ivy. The host
and guests compare SBT to other build systems (Ant, Maven and
Gradle) and examine how SBT deals with external libraries and why
a new approach using Aether might be the best way to go.
