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

Answer 1

In the base_dir/project/ folder create a file build.sbt and put libraryDependencies += ... there.

That's the idiomatic SBT way to build your "build project", also known as "Meta Build".
