Scala Bazaars, “sbaz” for short, is a network system that allows Scala enthusiasts to share packages of Scala code and other artifacts with each other.

Detailed information, including a tutorial and an architecture document, is available at: http://www.lexspoon.org/sbaz/.

The best way to get started with sbaz is to read the tutorial. You may want to execute “sbaz install sbazgui” after installing sbaz, if you’d like a GUI interface.

The software is developed and maintained by Lex Spoon.

Scala Bazaars uses HTTP to communicate with universe servers. If your network blocks HTTP access, then, you need to configure sbaz to use an HTTP proxy. To do this, create a file named “config/sbaz.properties” in your managed directory and give it the appropriate proxy settings, something like:

  http.proxySet=true
  http.proxyHost=localhost
  http.proxyPort=3128

On Scala 2.7.1 on Windows you have to use ${scala.home}/config/sbaz.properties as location of the sbaz.properties file

If you have a bug to report on sbaz, please do not post it on the wiki. Use the same bug reporting system as for the compiler and standard library. Go to http://www.scala-lang.org and look for “reporting a bug” on the left part of the page.
