Missing dependency 'object java.lang.Object in compiler mirror' when trying to run Pay Java Seed in Activator UI

Question

I am new to Play framework. I am trying to run Play Java Seed but the build fails with the error \"Missing dependency object java.lang.Object in compiler mirror\", required

Answer 1

Okay finally figured it out. The problem was due to Java version. I was using openjdk 9. But turns out Play framework works with Oracle's Java 8. This was causing the build error.
