Downloads a version (currently v1.2.8) of SBT as tarball into the $HOME directory and extracts it there.
At the same time the directory $HOME/bin is created and added to the path variable in .bashrc. A symbolic link
from the SBT executable is set in $HOME/bin and .bashrc is sourced.
The file needs to be called in the /workspace directory. It creates the sbt workspace directories.
It creates the files ./build.sbt as well as ./project/build.properties. If either of these files already
exists, the user is prompted for consent. If the user agrees to proceed, the respective file will be overwritten,
or else the program is terminated.
