Example sbt project that compiles using Scala 3

Usage

This is a normal sbt project, you can compile code with sbt compile and run it with sbt run, sbt console will start a Scala 3 REPL.

If compiling this example project fails, you probably have a global sbt plugin that does not work with Scala 3, try to disable all plugins in ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins and ~/.sbt/1.0.

IDE support

Scala 3 comes built-in with IDE support, to try it out see IDE support for Scala 3

Making a new Scala 3 project

The fastest way to start a new Scala 3 project is to use one of the following templates:

• Minimal Scala 3 project
• Scala 3 project that cross-compiles with Scala 2

Using Scala 3 in an existing project

You will need to make the following adjustments to your build:

project/build.properties

sbt.version=1.5.0

You must use sbt 1.5.0 or newer; older versions of sbt are not supported.

build.sbt

Set up the Scala 3 version:

scalaVersion := "3.0.0-RC3"

Getting your project to compile with Scala 3

For help with porting an existing Scala 2 project to Scala 3, see the Scala 3 migration guide.

Nightly builds

If the latest release of Scala 3 is missing a bugfix or feature you need, you may wish to use a nightly build. Look at the bottom of the list of releases to find the version number for the latest nightly build.
