Class broken error with Joda Time using Scala

Question

I\'m adding the Joda Time repository to SBT with

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  \"joda-time\"         % \"joda-time\"           % \"2.1\"
)

Answer 1

Add this dependency:

"org.joda" % "joda-convert" % "1.8.1"

It's an optional dependency of joda-time. I had to add it in my own project for the scala compiler to accept working with the joda-time jar.

Your issue seems to be the same.

Version is as at time of editing, latest versions can be found here

Answer 2

I was running into a similar issue:

[warn] Class net.jcip.annotations.NotThreadSafe not found - continuing with a stub.
[warn] Caught: java.lang.NullPointerException while parsing annotations in ~/.ivy2-p2/cache/org.opensaml/xmltooling/jars/xmltooling-1.3.4.jar(org/opensaml/xml/util/IDIndex.class)
[error] error while loading AttributeMap, class file '~/.ivy2-p2/cache/org.opensaml/xmltooling/jars/xmltooling-1.3.4.jar(org/opensaml/xml/util/AttributeMap.class)' is broken
[error] (class java.lang.RuntimeException/bad constant pool index: 0 at pos: 12058)

Explicitly adding a dependency jcip-annotations-1.0.jar resolved the issue.
