Template project for SBT

[galderz]

As discussed here, a sample/template SBT project is needed, similar to the Maven Archectype and Gradle Template project. This will help people to get started with SBT + Vert.x

I found that using SBT as follows works pretty well for a Scala vert.x project, using spray's sbt revolver.
This is without packaging as a vert.x module, just a way to run vert.x from sbt so that it runs your verticle written in Scala, while listening for source changes. Assumes revolver is "installed".

sbt
> set mainClass in Revolver.reStart := Some("org.vertx.java.platform.impl.cli.Starter")
> ~re-start run scala:com.something.myclass

We're in closing stages of switching from gradle to SBT for mod-lang-scala, and in there we are tackling the issue of packaging a vert.x module since that's required to release mod-lang-scala. Once that's completed, we should be able to create the template project more easily.

@matanster If you could share the project you've created and instructions to run it, it'd be great so that we can potentially include something similar when we develop the template project.

@galderz do you mean templating my project even though it does not package itself as a vert.x module?

[galderz]

Whatever SBT template we come up with, it'll probably include both: the ability to package it as a Vert.x module, and maybe what you suggest, ability to run vert.x directly. For the latter option, if you could share what you did to your SBT configuration to run it that'd be great, assuming you did more than you explained in your last comment. Thanks!

Hey @matanster, I got a notification for an update on the issue but you removed it? It seemed to contain valuable info :|

I think I felt it became obsolete...
