An sbt plugin for Scala/Java projects that builds application packages in native formats such as deb, rpm, msi, dmg, zip/tar archives, Docker images, and GraalVM native images. It provides archetypes for common configurations like Java applications and server applications with start scripts.

Use cases

  • package a scala app as a deb or rpm
  • build docker images from sbt
  • create msi installers for windows
  • bundle a java app with start scripts
  • build graalvm native images from sbt
  • create dmg packages for macos

When to choose

  • you use sbt and need native OS packages or Docker images for your application
  • you want standardized start scripts and service archetypes for Java/Scala server apps

When to avoid

  • your project does not use sbt or the JVM
  • you need packaging formats not covered by the plugin
