Support for compiling custom files?

[smarter]

As far as I can see, everything is hardcoded to compile scalap, what would be needed to be able to do:

> run foo.scala

from sbt, and have it just work?

The arguments passed to run are passed as an array of strings that the main method takes:

object Main {
  def main(args: Arra[String]): Unit = args(0) == "foo.scala" //this would yield true
}

I like the idea of unhardcoding scalap. Maybe, it could be done that if no arguments are passed, you get scalap processed, otherwise the source that was passed as an argument.

I know how main methods work, I was more wondering about what would need to be adapted in the code :). In particular I see that you're doing a bunch of preprocessing specific to scalap in https://github.com/gkossakowski/kentuckymule/blob/master/kentuckymule/src/main/scala/kentuckymule/ScalapHelper.scala

Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, I populate the symbol table with stub symbols that are not defined in scalap sources but are referenced from there. Those symbols corresponding to Java and Scala standard libraries. It is my way of getting scalap typechecking to work without spending time on writing a (fast) class file parser that would parse jars corresponding to Java and Scala libraries. If you want to support just self-contained sources (that do not rely on Scala/Java std libs too much), then you can keep the call to ScalapHelper around just for the basic types like Int, or Array.
