How to attach sources to SBT managed dependencies in Scala IDE?

Question

I\'m using Scala IDE 2.0.1 and SBT 0.11.2 to start with Akka 2.0.1. My build.sbt looks like this:

name := \"akka\"

version := \"0.1\"

scalaVersion := \"2.9         


        

Answer 1

Finally I found a solution to let sbt download the sources and tell Eclipse where to find them.

Add in build.sbt:

EclipseKeys.withSource := true

Then run:

rm -rf  ~/.ivy2/cache/

sbt update-classifiers

sbt eclipse

The weird part is that if you already downloaded the dependencies in ivy, you have them in cache and you won't be able to download the sources for them.
