sbt 2.x has three kinds of run (https://eed3si9n.com/sudori-part7-client-side-run-with-sbt/):
The default behavior is client-side run, which means sbt server code just sends JSON signal to sbtn, and sbtn would fork a

changed the title
Set window title to 'sbt <command>: <org> % <name> % <version>' when running sbt run, runMain, bgRun, or bgRunMain. For server-side runs, window title is set directly. For client-side runs (sbtn), window title is passed via RunInfo protocol and set by NetworkClient. Fixes sbt#7586

feat: Set terminal window title when running applications
What's the problem?
When you have multiple microservices running with
sbt run, all terminal windows show the same title ("sbt run" or just "sbt"). This makes it hard to tell which service is running in which window without stopping the app or guessing from log messages.What's the fix?
Now when you run
sbt run,runMain,bgRun, orbgRunMain, the terminal window title is automatically set to show the project info:This makes it easy to identify which service is running in each terminal window at a glance.
How it works
Uses standard ANSI escape codes to set the terminal title. Only activates when running in a proper terminal (checks for
TERMenvironment variable).Testing
Fixes #7586
