In SBT/SBT eclipse is there a way to tell eclipse to (temporarily) resolve a dependency from a checked out elipse project rather than from the repository. Basically functionality similar to that offered by the workspace resolver in Ivy DE

My use case here is that I want to make some changes to a library project and instantly see the effect they have on one my applications that uses that library.

If such functioanality is not offered- is there another way I could achieve the desired result?

  • thanks- yes it looks like the accepted answer there (declaring the dependency both as a managed dependency and a project dependency and switching between them based on some env property) is the way to go. – d80tb7 Feb 14 '16 at 13:43

I don't know if this is the best or fastest way but you could do:

sbt "~publish-local"

In the folder of the external lib to publish to your local repository. Everytime a change is made in that code, it will be compiled and resent to the local repository.

Then just 

 sbt compile

In your project
