Scala on Android with Eclipse

Yes, I'm back from the dead. I've been busy starting a company of late and have been pretty much full speed ahead on that, leaving less (read: none) time for blogging.

Anyway, on with the main event: a working setup for developing Android applications in Scala. I spent about 3-4 days total trying to get this setup working, using various different schemes such as the Treeshaker plugin for Eclipse, the Maven Android plugin and others. After hours and hours of fiddling, I finally found a solution that works: a custom SBT setup with the SBT Android plugin. The key is to avoid building the Android app in Eclipse itself, but to use SBT for the heavy lifting.
