Plugins for sbt? about dagger

[swankjesse]

No plans at the moment. Is anyone using sbt to build Android apps?

[DaveGit]

Yes me.

I've used it as well. Far from ideal but it mostly works.

That said, this plugin is not required for development on Android. It merely generates a module for your manifest entries which otherwise could be done manually. We also aren't sure in what form it will exist (if at all) by the time Dagger hits 1.0.

Android is moving to Gradle in the next year anyways so if we do keep this around we would probably move towards solely supporting that in the long run.

But is the dagger compiler with the annotation processors (i.e. dagger-compiler-0.9.jar) not necessary?
Is dagger-0.9.jar all that is needed?

dagger-compiler isn't a maven-plugin, it's an annotation processor. It
can be used with anything that will invoke javac with it on its class
path. That should be true of gradle, ivy, maven, ant, etc. Generating
modules is quite separate than generating the code for ModuleAdapter or
InjectAdapter classes.
