Description

The current quickstart instructions for the "Self-Contained Applications" instructs the user to create a file named simple.sbt to instruct the build tooling. With current versions of sbt(ie 1.0) however, the tooling does not recognize the simple.sbt file as it is looking for a file named build.sbt.

When following the quickstart instructions, I see the following output:

$ find .
.
./simple.sbt
./src
./src/main
./src/main/scala
./src/main/scala/SimpleApp.scala
[mike@ultra] master ~/workspace/sandbox/SimpleApp
$ sbt package
/home/mike/workspace/sandbox/SimpleApp doesn't appear to be an sbt project.
If you want to start sbt anyway, run:
  /home/mike/bin/sbt -sbt-create

Changing the filename to build.sbt produces a valid build:

$ mv simple.sbt build.sbt
[mike@ultra] master ~/workspace/sandbox/SimpleApp
$ sbt package

I think the documentation just needs to be changed to reflect the new filename.
