Create a task in your build file like this:

lazy val copyDependencies = TaskKey[Unit]("pack")

def copyDepTask = copyDependencies <<= (update, crossTarget, scalaVersion) map {
  (updateReport, out, scalaVer) =>
    updateReport.allFiles foreach {
      srcPath =>
        val destPath = out / "lib" / srcPath.getName
        IO.copyFile(srcPath, destPath, preserveLastModified = true)
    }
}

Add the Task to a Project like this:

lazy val HubSensors =
  Project("HubSensors", file("HubSensors"), settings = shared ++ Seq(
    copyDepTask,
    resolvers ++= Seq(novusRels),
    libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
      jodatime
    )
  )) dependsOn(HubCameraVision, JamServiceProxy, HubDAL)

In the SBT console type:

project [Project Name]
pack
