Build & Bundling

SBT (Scala Build Tool) is the standard build system for Scala applications and is widely used in large enterprise and open-source ecosystems. SBT offers incremental compilation, dependency resolution, task automation, and plugin extensibility. However, teams often encounter advanced issues such as "dependency resolution conflicts, long incremental compile times, plugin incompatibility, scope leakage, and JVM memory exhaustion during large builds". This article provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for diagnosing and resolving critical SBT issues in large-scale Scala codebases.
