How can I run a package created with Simple Build Tool?

I run:

$ echo 'object Hi { def main(args: Array[String]) { println("Hi!") } }' > hw.scala
$ sbt
> warn
Set log level to warn
> run
Hi!
> package
$ java -jar target/scala_2.7.7/test_2.7.7-1.0.jar 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/ScalaObject
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:621)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:260)

Why can't I run this jar package this way?

I don't know which version of sbt you're using, or what project setup you have used, but normally your hw.scala file should be placed in src/main/scala directory for sbt to find it. Also, as synesso remarked, the scala runtime seems to be absent. Normally sbt will just download these when creating a new project. I just tried it using sbt 0.7.3 in a fres project, and this works:

$ sbt
Project does not exist, create new project? (y/N/s) y

You are attempting to run it without the scala runtime. Either use the scala executable:

scala -jar target/scala_2.7.7/test_2.7.7-1.0.jar

or, add the scala jar to the classpath

java -cp target/scala_2.7.7/test_2.7.7-1.0.jar:$PATH_TO_SCALA_JAR Hi
