• runners: sbt-extras vs sbt-launcher-package
• thin client (ala cb372/sbt-client)
• launchers: sbt-launcher vs csbt vs RunFromSourceMain

brew install dwijnand/formulas/coursier

• use coursier to write brew formula, apt package, etc

  • coursier install --graalvm-home=$JAVA_HOME sbt (uses coursier/apps, current v1.3.7)

• sbt-dynamic-launcher v1.3.7 (native) -- csbt 5%

  • reads build.properties for sbt.version, fallback to installationVersion
  • fetches sbtw and sbt for that version
  • launches sbtw

• sbtw / sbt-thin-client v${sbt.version} (native) -- csbt 95% + ethan's client

  • // case new => run new code
  • case --help => showUsage
  • // if no server running, launch it
  • // start thin client loop
  • start server, connected to it

• sbt server (jvm)

design constraints

• sbtw must be able to launch old sbt 1.x releases
• old sbt-launcher must be able to launch new sbt 1.4+ releases
• old sbt-launcher, sbtw, and sbtw console must have the same semantics

actions/todos

• names
• installation process
• stage 1: get thin client to users, switching packages/tarballs to coursier/sbt-extras
• stage 2: subsume the bash/BAT scripts, with the rest of the setup ^
