May you looking for this sbt plugin: https://github.com/anvie/sbt-onedir-plugin

Answer 2

There are many plugins you can use: sbt-assembly, sbt-proguard, sbt-onejar, xitrum-package etc.

See the list of SBT plugins.

Answer 3

You could also try SBT Native Packager: https://github.com/sbt/sbt-native-packager (sbt 0.7+)

This is still a WIP but will be used in Play Framework 2.2 in the coming weeks. With this, you can create standalone ZIP files, Debian packages (DEB), Windows installation packages (MSI), DMG, RPM, and so on.

Answer 4

Add the following line to your build.sbt file.

retrieveManaged := true

This will gather the dependencies locally

Answer 5

Try sbt-pack plugin https://github.com/xerial/sbt-pack, which collects all dependent jars in target/pack folder and also generates launch scripts.
