Boot scripts are not generated when using mainClass in (Compile, run) instead of only Compile

[bjoernjacobs]

In Build.scala when I change
mainClass in Compile := Some("my.app.class") to mainClass in (Compile, run) := Some("my.app.class"), after calling stage there are no boot scripts in /bin anymore. If I change it back, they get generated again.

This is intended behavior.

mainClass in Compile sets the main class for the compile step.
mainClass in (Compile, run) sets the main class during theruntask inside theCompilescope. So this main class is only used, when you callrun(which iscompile:run`).

Thanks for this clarification.
