What is an SBT file?

SBT files mostly belong to sbt by Lightbend. SBT filename extension is mainly used to save video subtitle files. An SBT subtitle contains blocks of text and timestamps for defining when each block of text is rendered during video playback. SBT is also the filename extension of the build definition file created by sbt, a build tool for Java and Scala projects. The build definition file is named build.sbt and it contains keys, tasks, settings, dependencies, and subprojects used to "build" a set of Java or Scala projects. Superbase, a relational database management software saves record notes data in SBT files. tbl2asn, a command line program used to automate the creation of sequence records to GenBank database (a collection of publicly available DNA sequences) saves templates in SBT files. An SBT template file contains a text ASN.1 submit block object written in JSON-like syntax.

How can I open an SBT file?

You need a suitable software like sbt to open an SBT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SBT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SBT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
