Community build failing in Play's SBT plugin about community-build HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @retronym,

That linked PR has nothing to do with it, it's on the master branch, and the community build of the Play SBT plugin appears to be building against the 2.3.x branch:

https://github.com/scala/community-builds/blob/master/common-2.11.x.conf#L718

It seems that the Play SBT plugin broke on April 2, it passed on April 1:

https://jenkins-dbuild.typesafe.com:8499/view/Shared/job/Community-2.11.x/505/console
https://jenkins-dbuild.typesafe.com:8499/view/Shared/job/Community-2.11.x/506/console

We had no changes on the 2.3.x branch between April 1 and April 2, the closest was a documentation change with no relation to the SBT plugin on March 31, and then no other changes until April 5:

https://github.com/playframework/playframework/commits/2.3.x

Exactly what is Play building against here? Is it building against the master of sbteclipse? If that's the case, here's the commit that broke it:

sbt/sbt-eclipse@280f210

We have no intention of fixing this in the 2.3.x branch, sbteclipse is undergoing major changes at the moment which are being done in sync with changes to Play, we can't switch to a newer version of sbteclipse in 2.3.x without backporting all the changes in Play back to 2.3.x. I don't know why the community build is building against the 2.3.x branch, but that's probably the problem here.

We can just fix on a known-compatible tag of sbt-eclipse. Thanks for the analysis.

I'll try v3.0.0 of sbt-eclipse. (That's what is referenced in play 2.3.8)

framework/project/Dependencies.scala:    sbtPluginDep("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "3.0.0"),

I'll open a separate ticket to move the community build from 2.3.x to 2.4.x. Usually we try to focus on a widely used version, rather than a bleeding edge version, so it might not be appropriate to switch immediately.

Fair enough. v3.0.0 should be fine. Perhaps there should be a 3.x branch of sbteclipse.
