title: How do I run SBT from within Eclipse?
body: <p>So far I've been running <em>IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition</em> for my Scala projects, but as my projects are expanding in complexity, I stumble upon more and more roadblocks with the IDE.</p>
  
  <p>Like for example the simple fact that IDEA <strong>doesn't</strong> allow for web-development or Java EE development what so ever, which means using the Play Framework or TomEE in Community Edition leads to nothing but dead ends and frustration.</p>
  
  <p>The only reason I switched to IDEA in the first place, is because of its excellent plugin system, allowing me to run SBT seamlessly as the primary scala compiler and library downloading tool with ease.</p>
  
  <p>Searching around on Google, however I can only seem to find mentions about the <em>eclipse plugin</em> for sbt, that makes an sbt project Eclipse friendly, which is the exact opposite of what I'm really looking for.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not willing to spend €89 per year for a student licence after all the pain it's put me through so far...</p>
  
  <p>So my question is; is there a plugin for Eclipse that allows me to use SBT the same way as in IDEA? Or am I forced to go through the console?</p>
