sbt: Use a specific jar file as the sbt launcher.
$ sbt -sbt-jar ${path}
try on your machine

This command is used to run the SBT (Simple Build Tool) command-line interface with a specific SBT JAR file.

The command syntax is as follows:

sbt -sbt-jar ${path}

Here's how to break down this command:

  • sbt: It is the command used to run SBT. SBT is a build tool for Scala and Java projects. It simplifies the build process and provides various features for compiling, testing, and packaging software.

  • -sbt-jar: It is an option for specifying the path to the SBT JAR file. The -sbt-jar option is followed by a space before the path to the JAR file.

  • ${path}: It is a placeholder for the actual path to the SBT JAR file. You need to replace ${path} with the correct path on your system. The path can be an absolute or relative path to the SBT JAR file.

To use this command, you need to have SBT installed on your system. The command will use the specified SBT JAR file instead of the default SBT version if you want to use a specific version.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
