lift 2.4-M4, scala 2.9.1, sbt 0.11.0-RC0, jetty 7.3 and xsbt-web-plugin 0.1.1

installing sbt 0.11.0-RC0

run the following commands:
# go to your home directory
cd

# create a bin folder there (if you don't have it yet)
mkdir bin

# download the latest sbt
wget http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-snapshots/org.scala-tools.sbt/sbt-launch/0.11.0-RC1/sbt-launch.jar
now we need to create a launcher for sbt, create a file called sbt in the bin directory you just created and put the following inside:
java -Xmx512M -jar `dirname $0`/sbt-launch.jar "$@"
now run the following commands:
# give execution permissions to the file
chmod u+x sbt
if you don't have $HOME/bin in your path variable you should add it, for this do the following:
# open $HOME/.bashrc in your favorite text editor
vim $HOME/.bashrc
and add the following line at the end of it:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
save and close and run the shell again so it loads the new definitions:
bash
you can check that the path was updated by running:
echo $PATH
you should see something similar to this:
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/test/bin
see that the last one is $HOME/bin (with $HOME expanded to my current home location)

installing scala 2.9.1

if your operating system has this in the package manager then install it from there but since the release is new and some distributions are a little behing we will install it from the download section of the scala site.
run the following commands:
# download the latest version of scala
wget http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/distrib/files/scala-2.9.1.final.tgz

# unpack it
tar -xzf scala-2.9.1.final.tgz

# move the folder to the standard place
sudo mv scala-2.9.1.final /usr/share/scala

# create links so the commands are visible
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/scala /usr/bin/scala
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/scalac /usr/bin/scalac
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/fsc /usr/bin/fsc
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/sbaz /usr/bin/sbaz
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/sbaz-setup /usr/bin/sbaz-setup
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/scaladoc /usr/bin/scaladoc
sudo ln -s /usr/share/scala/bin/scalap /usr/bin/scalap

installing the rest

first create the project folder and setup the structure:
# define the name of the project
PROJNAME=demo

# create the direcotry where our project will be
mkdir $PROJNAME

# get the latest lift with sbt support
wget https://nodeload.github.com/lift/lift_24_sbt/tarball/master

# extract lift
tar -xzf master

# remove the downloaded file
rm master

# copy the basic example to our project directory
cp -r lift-lift_24_sbt-*/scala_29/lift_basic/* $PROJNAME

# move to our project folder
cd $PROJNAME

# remove older sbt versions
rm sbt sbt.bat sbt-launcher.jar

# remove the project structure
rm -r project/

# create the new project structure
mkdir -p project/project
the change in the project directory structure is because it changed in sbt 0.11, see more about this here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/simple-build-tool/plugins/simple-build-tool/ep_63fA_Gzk/32xiPzGkCqAJ
create a file at $PROJNAME/build.sbt:
vim build.sbt
with the following content:
seq(webSettings :_*)

scalaVersion := "2.9.1"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
        "net.liftweb" %% "lift-webkit" % "2.4-M4" % "compile",
        "net.liftweb" %% "lift-mapper" % "2.4-M4" % "compile",
        "org.eclipse.jetty" % "jetty-webapp" % "7.5.1.v20110908" % "jetty",
        "junit" % "junit" % "4.8" % "test",
        "ch.qos.logback" % "logback-classic" % "0.9.26",
        "org.scala-tools.testing" %% "specs" % "1.6.9" % "test",
        "com.h2database" % "h2" % "1.3.160"
)
create a file at $PROJNAME/project/plugins.sbt:
vim project/plugins.sbt
with the following content:
resolvers ++= Seq(
        "Web plugin repo" at "http://siasia.github.com/maven2",
        Resolver.url("Typesafe repository", new java.net.URL("http://typesafe.artifactoryonline.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/"))(Resolver.defaultIvyPatterns)
)

addSbtPlugin("com.github.siasia" % "xsbt-web-plugin" % "0.1.1")
now run:
sbt
when you get to the console write:
jetty-run
note that the first time it will take a while, that's because it's downloading lot of stuff and compiling some other things, after the first run everything becomes faster.
after a moment some information will appear, after that navigate to:
http://localhost:8080
and play with the app.

generating a war file to deploy in web containers

just run:
sbt package-war
to test you can run:
sbt test
note that the new version of jetty changed namespace from org.mortbay.* to org.eclipse.* so some code may be broken.

some extra packages

here are some other packages you may want to have, copy the lines your are interested in and add them to $PROJNAME/build.sbt:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "com.novocode" % "junit-interface" % "0.6" % "test->default",
    "org.scalatest" % "scalatest_2.9.0" % "1.6.1",
    "com.sun.jersey" % "jersey-server" % "1.9",
    "com.sun.jersey" % "jersey-client" % "1.9",
    "com.sun.jersey" % "jersey-core" % "1.9",
    "com.sun.jersey" % "jersey-json" % "1.9",
    "javax.ws.rs" % "jsr311-api" % "1.1.1",
    "javax.xml.bind" % "jaxb-api" % "2.2"
)

This is just what I hate about existing approaches to writing web apps. This is all what led to Opa, a new web programming language (http://opalang.org). To code web apps in Opa you just install it (one package) write your code & compile to a single executable: http://blog.opalang.org/2011/06/first-steps-hello-web-in-opa.html. No complex set-ups, no configuration nightmare...

@Koper well all the steps are pretty natural if you know the fundamentals
