Summary: Scafolding of an scala project should rely on "sbt new" Key: FLINK-7434 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7434 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 1.3.2 Reporter: Svend Vanderveken Priority: Minor h2. Issue: Currently, the documentation for [scafolding a new scala project|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/quickstart/scala_api_quickstart.html#sbt] refers to 3 methods providing an equivalent basic project: 1) installing and using giter8 to generate it from [this giter8 template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project.g8] 2) cloning [this other template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project] 3) using the [sbt-quickstart.sh|https://flink.apache.org/q/sbt-quickstart.sh] script This works, though implies 3 templates need to be maintained in parallel and simpler methods now exist h2. Suggested solution - the documentation for the template related to method 1) above has recently been updated: we can now generate projects from it with a simple {{sbt new}} command line statement. Using {{sbt new}} is more natural to the end use since it does not require to install giter8, and sbt is more likely to be installed already. - I think we should remove method 2) since it is essentially equivalent to method 1), with the drawback that the version numbers are hard-coded inside it, as opposed to a parameter-based giter8 template -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
