"Where is the framework?" error in Play! framework

I am new to using the Play! framework and was following the tutorial on their site and I got the following error in the console while trying to run the program.

It looks like the play.jar file is corrupted (look at the root exception). Try to download it again, or run 'ant'.

EDIT:
Rename your Play! directory as Play. The ! symbol is used internally in jar URL pattern.

I would say... It doesn't find the framework.

Are you sure everything is well installed?

Do you have some env variables to set?

Some configuration files to set?

Cheers,
