error: eof expected?! How to use idea and eclipse plugins together in sbt?

sbt

Solution

According to How build.sbt defines settings you need to put a blank line between Scala expressions.

addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.5.1")
# blank line here
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.3.0")

Note that you need SBT `0.13.0` for sbteclipse `2.3.0` and sbt-idea is currently for SBT `0.12.x`.

Problem

I use sbt `0.13`. Both https://github.com/typesafehub/sbteclipse and https://github.com/typesafehub/sbt-idea suggest to add a line for each to `~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt`. Thus my `plugins/build.sbt` looks like: ``` addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.5.1") addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.3.0") ``` With that, sbt keeps failing with the error: ``` .sbt/0.13/plugins/build.sbt:2: error: eof expected but ';' found. addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.3.0") ^ [error] Error parsing expression. Ensure that settings are separated by blank lines. Project loading failed: (r)etry, (q)uit, (l)ast, or (i)gnore? zsh: exit 130 sbt ``` Interestingly, both lines work seperately. Is it possible to use both plugins?
