java - Migrating from Maven to SBT

Question

As you know, SBT is compatible with Maven in some way -- SBT recognizes simple Maven POMs and can use dependencies and repositories specified in them. However, SBT wiki says that, if inline dependency is specified in SBT project definition, POM will be ignored (so using both in this case is impossible):

Maven and Ivy configurations (pom.xml and ivy.xml) are ignored when inline dependency declarations are present.

Does anyone know, if any kind of converter from Maven POM to SBT project definition exists (translating POM's XML into project definition Scala code)? I'm considering writing such script (that will help to migrate my old Scala/Maven projects to SBT), but want to know first, if this functionality already exists.

Answer 1

Converter is far too strong a term for this hack, but I wrote a script to take a block of <dependencies> and output SBT style deps: http://gist.github.com/388334
