"This is a maven plugin that adds a new packaging type ('scala-jar') to maven with a better default lifecycle. This lifecycle binds net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:compile to the 'compile' phase by default while also retaining an invocation of maven-compiler-plugin. Additionally, com.vast:scala-surefire-maven-plugin:test is bound to the 'test' phase. This allows native and seamless use of ScalaTest in your build."
