'''sbt''' is an open source [[build automation]] tool for [[Scala (programming language)]] and [[Java (programming language)]] projects, similar to Java's Maven or Ant.

== Description ==

Its main features are:

* native support for compiling Scala code and integrating with many Scala test frameworks
* build descriptions written in Scala using a DSL
* dependency management using Ivy (which supports Maven-format repositories)
* continuous compilation, testing, and deployment
* integration with the Scala interpreter for rapid iteration and debugging
* support for mixed Java/Scala projects

Sbt is the de facto build tool in the Scala community, used by the Lift web framework and Play Framework.
