Boxer: a demo scalac plugin, embedded in your SBT project.
Ever wish you could inject some extra analysis into the compiler pipeline for your project? You could write a compiler plugin, package, distribute it, and depend on it, but the activation energy for that is pretty high.
Boxer shows you how to embed a custom compiler plugin
directly into a sub-project of your SBT project. With this
in place, you can edit the plugin, run compile, and immediately
see the results in the context of your project.
