Easy start with sbt

I'm loving scala and I can see myself creating a lot of sbt projects in the future. To avoid writing the boilerplate structure of sbt project everytime I start I created this simple bash function to do that for me:


function create_sbt_project() {
  project_folder=$1
  mkdir $project_folder
  pushd $project_folder
  git init
  echo -e "name := \"$1\"\n\nversion := \"1.0\"\n\nscalaVersion := \"2.9.1\"" > build.sbt
  mkdir -p src/main/resources
  mkdir -p src/main/scala
  mkdir -p src/main/java
  mkdir -p src/test/resources
  mkdir -p src/test/scala
  mkdir -p src/test/java
  echo -e "object Hi {\n  def main(args:Array[String]) = println(\"Hi!\")\n}" > src/main/scala/hw.scala
  echo target/ >> .gitignore
  git add .
  git commit -m "Initial Commit"
  sbt compile run clean
  popd
}

e.g.

$ create_sbt_project test

will create a folder with standard sbt project structure that compiles and runs.
