A compile server hosted in sbt for external tools
We were implementing scala support in the cloud9 IDE, and wanted a server component to handle autocomplete and compile messages.
Add this plug-in to your global or project plugins.sbt
After running sbt (use the latest launcher):
sbteo:start
to stop, either kill the sbt session, or
sbteo:stop
This will make a websocket server available on locahost:8888/sbt/. If you want to bind somewhere else, then
SBTEO_ENDPOINT=<iface>:<port> sbt
or
sbt -Dsbteo.endpoint=<iface>:<port>
<port> will default to 8888, <iface> will default to localhost
