Discussing usage in other tools

[ckipp01]

As a follow-up to the recent Scala Tooling Summit I wanted to raise a few questions/requests that we can maybe start digging into and tracking here. Across the ecosystem we have various ways of publishing. sbt has it's own implementation, Mill has it's own, and now this is repo's implementation is being used in scala-cli. How could we possibly better utilize this (if we'd all agree on that) in various places. Here are some question/topics that came up during the summit.

• What's the dependency chain look like in this repo? Are there any that are non-essential? For some of them, would it make sense to make an interface and allow the various tools to provide their own JSON library for example.
• Could some documentation be written for this?
• There seems to be no tests in this repo?

I think this is what needs to be implemented to integrate with sbt:
