How to attach sources to SBT managed dependencies in Scala IDE?

Question

I\'m using Scala IDE 2.0.1 and SBT 0.11.2 to start with Akka 2.0.1. My build.sbt looks like this:

name := \"akka\"

version := \"0.1\"

scalaVersion := \"2.9

I managed to get this working finally.

I had to use an external ivy settings file:

And add:

externalIvySettings(baseDirectory(_ / "ivysettings.xml"))

to my Build.scala.

The order of the resolvers in the chain proved to be important, because if Ivy finds a jar but no sources it won't check the other resolvers for sources/javadoc. The repository in the local Play install doesn't have sources or javadoc in.

This gets me source attachments for most of the jars in my dependencies when IvyDE resolves in Eclipse.
