Shortcut to launch java/scala without specific classpath

Question

I am new to scala. Now I start to use the testing framework scalatest . But every time I run the test, I need to type scala -cp /path/to/jar/folder/scalatest_2.11-2.2.1.jar my_test.scala to include the scalatest package.

I want to type less. Here is what I think may work.

• Put export CLASSPATH=/path/to/jar/folder/scalatest_2.11-2.2.1.jar;$CLASSPATH in .bashrc .
• Put alias scalat="scala -cp /path/to/jar/folder/scalatest_2.11-2.2.1.jar" in .bashrc .

But I wanna know what is the common way to let scala/java know package without specific it in CLASSPATH in scala/java community?

通常的方法是使用SBT或Maven之类的构建系统（带有scala插件）​​来管理依赖项，类路径和构建周期。
