First understand this example -

build.sbt:

name := "hello"

version := "1.0"

Above is a shorthand notation roughly equivalent to this project/Build.scala:

import sbt._
import Keys._

object Build extends Build {
  lazy val root = Project(id = "root", base = file(".")).settings(
    name := "hello",
    version := "1.0"      
  )
}

Now I thinks it makes clear that when .sbt's are being compiled, they are before that sort of merged with the .scala files inside project directory.
