How can I show a source directory to sbteclipse without adding it to the Compile or Test configuration

Question

I have tests under sbt's unmanagedSourceDirectories in the IntegrationTest configuration that I want to keep separate from the Test configuration.

Is there a way to have sbteclipse add that source directory to the eclipse .classpath file without adding it to the Compile or Test configuration?

It looks like the way to do this is to add the following setting to you build.sbt:

EclipseKeys.configurations := Set(Compile, Test, IntegrationTest)

Where Compile and Test are the defaults and I just added the IntegrationTest configuration that I wanted to be added.

If you don't want to put Eclipse-specific configuration in your SBT files you can set-up Eclipse to run integration tests globally as follows:

Add the following to your ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "3.0.0")

And then create ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/Eclipse.scala as a file with the following contents:

import sbt._
import Keys._
import com.typesafe.sbteclipse.plugin.EclipsePlugin._

object ShellPrompt extends Plugin {
  override def settings = Seq(
    EclipseKeys.configurations := Set(Configurations.Compile, Configurations.Test, Configurations.IntegrationTest)
  )
}

Thanks, this is very helpful to keep the IDE-specific configs out of specific projects. Unfortunately, if you have any projects that don't have ``IntegrationTest`` you run in to https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse/issues/154. I wonder if there is a way to check whether the specific project even has ``IntegrationTest`` first. — Chad Retz, Jul 20 '15 at 01:00
