Adding new task dependencies to built-in SBT tasks?

Question

Is it possible to override or modify built-in SBT tasks (like compile) to depend on custom tasks in my own Build.scala? Overriding e.g. \"compile\" directly is not possible sinc

Reply to self: http://code.google.com/p/simple-build-tool/wiki/ProjectDefinitionExamples#Insert_Task_Dependency tells the answer:

If you are using older 0.7.x SBT versions you can do this:

import sbt._
class SampleProject(info: ProjectInfo) extends DefaultProject(info) {
  lazy val printAction = task { print("Testing...") }
  override def compileAction = super.compileAction dependsOn(printAction)
}
