Programming Akka in Java and sbt dependencies

Question

I am learning Akka and am trying out Akka remoting. I am using the intellij IDE and the language being used is Java. I tried running the AKKA remote example (Calculator). I am not using the sbt tool. How do I build the application and run it. I tried running the example, but I dont think it is reading the configuration files correctly and is not creating a remote actor. I have included the akka jar files in the project. I have created a simple java project in intellij to run the program.

Am I doing it the right way?. What are the alternate ways to build and run the same. How to use sbt with Java.

Sbt is primarily aimed at Scala projects. Maven or Gradle can get those same exact dependencies. — OneCricketeer, Aug 01 '16 at 13:09

You can create Dependencies.scala and Versions.scala under project folder; which again you can use with build.sbt.

build.sbt is very similar to build.xml with maven. You can define libraryDependencies and assembly file name, etc.

For example you can refer https://github.com/asethia/akka-streaming-graph/tree/master/project in detail.

That link is to a Scala project, though, where the question asked how to use sbt with Java – OneCricketeer Aug 02 '16 at 03:36
