Thanks for this. However, right now plugins seem to drag in dependencies on the version of daffodil they were compiled with.
This is fixed in the next (as yet unreleased) sbt-daffidil, but how do I cope with this in the short term? If I do 'sbt "export fullClassPath"' I will get a mixture of different daffodil jars, or entirely wrong ones it seems. Do I just edit this classpath by hand so I can set DAFFODIL_CLASSPATH properly, or is there a better workaround?
