Description
FEATURE REQUEST: Support SBT projects.
I know you have no plans on supporting scala, but SBT can be used to build Java projects as well.
Currently no .classpath or related files are generated because there is no pom.xml or gradle build file and it requires the user to run the sbt eclipse plugin (https://github.com/sbt/sbteclipse/) manually to get these to generate for the java extension.
It would be great to not have to do that and have it "just work" with sbt.

Research direction
Start by examining how Java projects without pom.xml or Gradle build files are handled, then review the sbt-eclipse plugin linked in the issue and its generated .classpath files. Confirm the desired behavior with a Java SBT project: the Java extension should work without requiring users to run the plugin manually.
