This is an SBT plugin for software packaging. It depends on sbt-native-packager.
You can create app installers for Windows (.msi), Debian (.deb), RPM (.rpm) and OSX (.pkg). You can optionally specify that your app should install itself as a service so that it starts automatically when the computer boots.
This plugin may prove useful if you wish to run Scala services on Windows or OSX. If you only use linux, sbt-native-packager probably works well enough.
