Error during sbt execution: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/StringContext

I am trying to run a play framework(2.1) application which is written in Scala but getting some error.

I need to use Play framework 2.1 only. As per build.sbt file, I am using Scala 2.11.7. sbt.version=0.13.8 is in project/build.properties.

I have installed Play 2.1.0 and changed my directory to application's root directory and then executed play command.

I got following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/StringContext

Error during sbt exeenter code herecution: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/StringContext

Can someone please tell me what's wrong here?

I am completely new to scala and I just need to run this app at earliest. I am using 64-bit Cent OS 7(in case someone wants to know about OS).

sbt.version=0.12.2 wont work with JDK8 so you might need to downgrade Java. I used this sbt version and got the following error

eror: error while loading CharSequence, class file '/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/rt.jar(java/lang/CharSequence.class)' is broken for sbt 0.12.2

The easiest way to fix that is to use an older version of SBT. Play 2.1.5 uses 0.12.2 by default, so you can change the file project/build.properties inside your project and use that version:

sbt.version=0.12.2

You can later try newer versions of SBT if you need.
