How do you run a Scala bash script with TypeSafe Activator?

How do you run a Scala shellscript with Activator?

Before using Activator you would use

#!/bin/sh
exec scala "$0" "$@"

but with Activator

#!/bin/sh
exec activator "$0" "$@"

does not work. I would prefer not having both Activator and a separate Scala install to avoid duplicate repositories if possible. If it is not possible knowing that would be helpful.

We don't have the scala executable rolled into the activator download yet, so to do this you have to download Scala separately (http://www.scala-lang.org/download/ pick the "scala binaries" instead of activator). We would like activator to come with a bin/ directory that has the scala executable in it, but it currently doesn't.
