dependencyUpgrade

Add project/Dependencies.scala in your root project
Dependencies.scala as the following:

import sbt._

object Dependencies {

  // define versions, The variable name must be camel case by module name
  object Versions {
    val fansi = "0.2.5"
    val slf4j = "1.7.25"
    val guava = "24.0-jre"
    val scalatest = "3.0.5"
    val scala212 = "2.12.4"
    val scala211 = "2.11.11"
    val scalariform = "0.2.6"
    val scalaLogging = "3.7.2"
  }

  object Compile {
    val fansi = "com.lihaoyi" %% "fansi" % Versions.fansi
    val guava = "com.google.guava" % "guava" % Versions.guava
    val slf4jSimple = "org.slf4j" % "slf4j-simple" % Versions.slf4j
    val scalariform = "org.scalariform" %% "scalariform" % Versions.scalariform
  }

  object Test {
    val scalaTest: ModuleID = "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % Versions.scalatest % "test"
  }

  import Compile._

  lazy val dependencies = Seq(fansi, guava, slf4jSimple, scalariform, Test.scalaTest)

}

Settings

dependencyUpgradeModuleNames: a setting to customize the mapping of module name

E.g. in build.sbt you can change configuration settings like this:

  dependencyUpgradeModuleNames := Map(
    "slf4j-simple" -> "slf4j",
    "undertow.*" -> "undertow"
  )

dependencyUpgradeComponentSorter: a setting to sort component names, default: org.jmotor.sbt.plugin.ComponentSorter.ByLength

org.jmotor.sbt.plugin.ComponentSorter.ByLength: sort the names by length org.jmotor.sbt.plugin.ComponentSorter.ByAlphabetically: sort the names by alphabetically
