How to configure SBT to use Scala 2.8?

Question

I have Scala 2.8.0 installed and don't wish to use Scala 2.7. Whenever I try to use SBT, it begins downloading Scala 2.7.7. Even if I call it in a directory with a Scala 2.8 project. How to avoid this behaviour? There is no man page for SBT, neither I could find SBT configuration files in /etc or ~/.

Answer 1

It needs that for itself. SBT is written for 2.7, regardless of the version of Scala being used to compile projects under its management.

SBT is a Google Code project, and is extensively documented there.
