You are trying to mix managed and unmanaged dependencies in SBT. http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Library-Dependencies

You can:

1. Put your jar with all its dependent jars into the lib folder. A bit of manual work.
2. Put only your jar into the lib folder and add all Maven dependencies to SBT (build.sbt). In this case your jar will be an unmanaged resource, but the dependencies will be managed by SBT.
3. Build your jar so that it already contains all dependencies: How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?
