Answer 1

You can use this scalatra-http-client working example published by Scalatra in Github. It's the bare minimum you need and can't get any easier than this.

The next step is to take a look at the other scalatra-website-examples webapp implemented examples that demonstrate things like: authentication, file uploading, forms handling and all this nicely wrapped with Bootstrap.

Answer 2

You can follow the Getting started guide. By following this guide, you create a SBT build definition which is based on the scalatra-sbt.g8 Template. This already includes a setup for scalatra-scalate. The build definition encodes the project structure, dependencies and build characteristics. It allows SBT for example to download all dependencies and compile your project.

Then there are SBT plugins to create IDE projects for all common IDEs: sbt-eclipse, sbt-idea.

Here is explained how to use them with a Scalatra project: IDE Support. Note that IDEA for example can directly import SBT or Maven projects.
