Lifty and SBT 0.12

Question

I'm new to using SBT, and I'm trying to install and configure Lifty, however when I try to run sbt, I get the following error:

[error] (*:update) sbt.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: org.lifty#lifty;1.7.4: not found

As per the Installing the Plugin instructions for Lifty, my ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt file looks like:

resolvers += Resolver.url("sbt-plugin-releases", new URL("http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-releases/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)
addSbtPlugin("org.lifty" % "lifty" % "1.7.4")

And my ~/.sbt/build.sbt file includes the line:

seq( Lifty.liftySettings : _*)

However, when trying to run this, I get the SBT error listed above, and I get a similar error if I try to use the 1.7.5-SNAPSHOT version of Lifty instead.

I'm using SBT launcher version 0.12.0 and Scala version 2.10.1 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.7.0_17) on Ubuntu 12.10.

Thank you!

You are using the wrong definition. Here is what you need;

resolvers += Resolver.url("sbt-plugin-snapshots", new URL("http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-plugin-snapshots/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

addSbtPlugin("org.lifty" % "lifty" % "1.7.4")

If you want to make this available for all projects, then put in ~/.sbt/plugins/plugins.sbt. Otherwise it goes in: ProjectFolder/project/plugins.sbt

But they don't have a Scala 2.10 or SBT 0.12 release out.. Look HERE for what is available.
