> h2. Issue:
> Currently, the documentation for [scafolding a new scala project|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/quickstart/scala_api_quickstart.html#sbt] refers to 3 methods providing an equivalent basic project:
> 1) installing and using giter8 to generate it from [this giter8 template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project.g8]
> 2) cloning [this other template|https://github.com/tillrohrmann/flink-project]
> 3) using the [sbt-quickstart.sh|https://flink.apache.org/q/sbt-quickstart.sh] script 
> This works, though implies 3 templates need to be maintained in parallel and simpler methods now exist
> h2. Suggested solution 
> - the documentation for the template related to method 1) above has recently been updated: we can now generate projects from it with a simple {{sbt new}} command line statement. Using {{sbt new}} is more natural to the end use since it does not require to install giter8, and sbt is more likely to be installed already. 
> - I think we should remove method 2) since it is essentially equivalent to method 1), with the drawback that the version numbers are hard-coded inside it, as opposed to a parameter-based giter8 template
