Compilation failed: error while loading AnnotatedElement, ConcurrentMap, CharSequence from Java 8 under Scala 2.10?

Question

I'm using the following:

Scala 2.10.4
Scalatra 2.2.2
sbt 0.13.0
java 1.8.0
casbah 2.7.2
scalatra-sbt 0.3.5

I'm frequently running into this error:

21:32:00.836 [qtp1687101938-55] ERROR o.fusesource.scalate.TemplateEngine - Compilation failed:
error: error while loading CharSequence, class file '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/rt.jar(java/lang/CharSequence.class)' is broken

two errors found

(class java.lang.RuntimeException/bad constant pool tag 18 at byte 76)
one error found

Currently I'm running into this when simply trying to call a .count() on my MongoDB collection.

Upon Googling, it seems like it may be caused by dependency issues. The thing is, I'm using Scalatra just to serve an API and actually don't require any of the scalate stuff. I commented out all references to it, but I still get this. Could it be a dependency issue between the libraries I'm using?

Change to java 7 and try again. This is issue with java 8 and code which use scala 2.9 — Andrzej Jozwik, Jun 13 '14 at 05:20
All the broken classes are part of the JDK, this seems to indicate that @ajozwik is right. — vptheron, Jun 13 '14 at 14:57
Have it been repaired ? I have a similar problem but I am working on scala 2.11.4 and Java 8 :( — MC2DX, Dec 12 '14 at 14:54

In my company we had this problem with CharSequence. This is due to Scala 2.10.x does not work with Java 8. This was described in Scalas mailinglist. Switch back to Java 7.

Switching to Scala 2.10.4 solved the problem for me.

How can that fix the problem. That is the particular version the OP claimed to be using – Paul Childs Mar 23 '18 at 05:27

I have a similar problem on Java 1.8.0 working with Scala 2.10.4 and sbt 0.12.4. But when upgrading to sbt 0.13.7, the problem is solved.

I am seeing the same issue with software requiring Scala 2.9.2+ and Java 1.7 running on Scala 2.10.4 and Java 1.8. Changed to Java 7 via sudo update-alternatives --config java

I solved this by using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.scala-lang</groupId>
    <artifactId>scala-library</artifactId>
    <version>2.10.2-RC2</version>
</dependency>

My environment is:

JDK 8
Maven
Scala

I also got the same issue in Ubuntu 14.04 but I solved by removing the scala 2.10 and installing 2.11

wget www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.7.deb

dpkg -i scala-2.11.7.deb

Now try.

That was a lot of reconfiguration for me to get it to work, here is my (NOW) working build.sbt using, sbt 0.13.15 and scala 2.10.4 and jdk 1.8.1_131

name := "ScalaTelemetryManagerApi"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.10.4"
scalacOptions := Seq("-unchecked", "-deprecation", "-encoding", "utf8")

libraryDependencies ++= {
  Seq(
    "io.spray"            %   "spray-can"     % "1.3.1",
    "io.spray"            %   "spray-routing" % "1.3.1",
    "io.spray"            %   "spray-testkit" % "1.3.1",
    "com.typesafe.akka"   %%  "akka-actor"    % "2.3.2",
    "com.typesafe.akka"   %%  "akka-testkit"  % "2.3.2",
    "org.specs2"          %%  "specs2-core"   % "3.6",

    "org.scalaz"      %%  "scalaz-core"   % "7.2.14"
  )
}

I hope a stable version of Scala will help you, Try 2.10.x with Java 1.7.x versions for better performance.

I mean it worked for me also in the same.

I had the same problem. However by switching to Java 7 my problem is resolved. So now this configuration works for me:

sbt 0.13.8
scala 2.11.7
java 7
