Error: Could not retrieve sbt 0.11.3 when running existing project in Play 2.1.0?

playframework, playframework-2.0, sbt, scala

Solution

I think your existing project has dependencies to sbt 0.11.3 and you are running it with Play 2.1.0 which uses sbt 0.12.2.

Check the file build.properties located under the project folder. If it says 0.11.3 your project probably uses another Play version and need to be upgraded to 2.1.0. The sbt-plugin should have Play 2.1.0 assigned - se plugins.sbt under project folder.

Either ugrade your project: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.0/Migration

Or - switch to an older Play version - the correct for your project. => http://www.playframework.com/download.

Problem

I'm new to Play Framework. I've just read about how to create and run a play project. I've been given a project and am facing `Error: Could not retrieve sbt 0.11.3`: ``` Getting org.scala-sbt sbt 0.11.3 ... :: problems summary :: :::: WARNINGS module not found: org.scala-sbt#sbt;0.11.3 ==== local: tried /home/ritesh/Play/play-2.1.0/repository/local/org.scala-sbt/sbt/0.11.3/ivys/ivy.xml ==== Maven2 Local: tried file:///home/ritesh/.m2/repository/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.11.3/sbt-0.11.3.pom ==== typesafe-ivy-releases: tried http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases/org.scala-sbt/sbt/0.11.3/ivys/ivy.xml ==== Maven Central: tried http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.11.3/sbt-0.11.3.pom :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: org.scala-sbt#sbt;0.11.3: not found :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS unresolved dependency: org.scala-sbt#sbt;0.11.3: not found Error during sbt execution: Error retrieving required libraries (see /home/ritesh/Play/play-2.1.0/framework/sbt/boot/update.log for complete log) Error: Could not retrieve sbt 0.11.3 ``` I only installed Play Framework `2.1.0` distribution and nothing else. How can I get passed the error and execute the `play` command successfully?
