Its main features are:

• native support for compiling Scala code and integrating with many Scala test frameworks
• build descriptions written in Scala using a DSL
• dependency management using Ivy (which supports Maven-format repositories)
• continuous compilation, testing, and deployment
• integration with the Scala interpreter for rapid iteration and debugging
• support for mixed Java/Scala projects

sbt Is the de facto build tool for the Scala community, used by the Lift web framework and Play Framework.
