Setting up & running a simple hello world project with Scala and Maven

maven_scala.bash

# first we'll create a new project

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.scala-tools.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=scala-archetype-simple -DgroupId=myGroup -DartifactId=myTestProject -Dversion=1.0 -DinteractiveMode=false


# then we will package it to create a jar, and populate target/

cd myTestProject
optional: rm -rf src/test
mvn package


#then lets try running it

scala -cp target/myTestProject-1.0.jar myGroup.App 


#we can do a mvn clean to clear out everything in target/
