How to add AWS Java SDK to Scala / Play project
aws-sdk, java, playframework, sbt, scala
Solution
Your problem is with SBT, the framework needs to be placed within `build.sbt` but you're trying to import it in as a plugin which it is not. Remove the plugin above, and put this line within your `build.sbt`:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.amazonaws" % "aws-java-sdk" % "1.11.46"
)
The have sbt build from there. If you are using Intelli J you can enable auto-import and have sbt automatically begin importing new or modified dependencies.
Problem
I'm playing around with Scala and Play, where I want to use the AWS Java SDK. I need to add the SDK to the project. And I know that I need to do that using the `plugins.sbt`. What I have tried ``` resolvers += "Sonatype OSS Snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots" addSbtPlugin("com.amazonaws" % "aws-java-sdk" % "1.11.46") ``` It's saying: ``` unresolved dependencies: Error:Unresolved dependencies:com.amazonaws#aws-java-sdk;1.11.46: not found` ``` As I am new to both Java, Scala and sbt I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The solution I was wrong about where to put the reference. It goes in `build.sbt` as it is not an sbt plugin, but rather a framework for the application to use. Add the reference to `build.sbt` like this: ``` libraryDependencies ++= Seq( "com.amazonaws" % "aws-java-sdk" % "1.11.46" ) ``` And you are good to go. You don't need a reference to any repositories, since the aws sdk is available in the default repos. See a list of available AWS Java SDK versions
