A small experiment to integrate akka.Main with sbt-start-script (applying https://github.com/sbt/sbt-start-script/pull/43). sbt> start-script will generate a runner which executes the Actor `org.example.Main`

Build.scala

import sbt._
import sbt.Keys._
import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtStartScript.{startScriptForClassesSettings => startScript}
import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtStartScript.StartScriptKeys._

object AkkaProjectInScalaBuild extends Build {

  lazy val akkaProjectInScala = Project(
    id = "akka-project-in-scala",
    base = file("."),
    settings = Project.defaultSettings ++ startScript ++ Seq(
      name := "Akka Project In Scala",
      organization := "org.example",
      version := "0.1-SNAPSHOT",
      scalaVersion := "2.10.2",
      mainClass in Compile := Some("akka.Main"),
      startScriptArgs := Seq("org.example.Main"),
      libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % "2.2.0"
    )
  )
}

Main.scala

package org.example

import akka.actor.Actor

class Main extends Actor {
  println("hello")
  context stop self
  def receive = Actor.emptyBehavior
}
