Wednesday, June 30, 2010  New, new .ensime format  In my
previous post I proposed a new ENSIME configuration format, to
support the inclusion of Maven, Ivy, and sbt dependencies. Since
then I've noticed that external build specifications are also
useful for launching the REPL and the debugger. Specifically,
one needs to know the runtime dependencies of the project, which
are often different from the compilation dependencies (usually a
super-set of). I've modified the .ensime file format so that
Maven,Ivy and Sbt users are better able to utilize their
existing build configurations in ENSIME.  Here's an example
.ensime, for an sbt project:   :server-root
"/home/aemon/src/misc/ensime/dist" :server-cmd "bin/"  :use-sbt
t :sbt-compile-conf "compile" :sbt-runtime-conf "runtime"
:project-package "com.ensime" :debug-class
"com.ensime.server.Server" :debug-args ("/tmp/ensime_port.tmp")
This configuration will cause ENSIME to use the "compile"
dependencies for building and the "runtime" dependencies when
launching t
