Okay. It's not a bug. SORM 0.3.8 depends on Scala 2.10.1 and Play 2.1.x uses Scala 2.10.0. The exceptions you get are caused by Play mixing artifacts from both Scala versions.

To fix this issue all you need to do is just tell Play to use a proper Scala version by adding scalaVersion := "2.10.1" to project settings in a file project/Build.scala.

The final build script may look like this:

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

  val appName         = "play-test"
  val appVersion      = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

  val appDependencies = Seq(
    "org.sorm-framework" % "sorm" % "0.3.8",
    "com.h2database" % "h2" % "1.3.168"
  )

  val main = play.Project(appName, appVersion, appDependencies).settings(
    resolvers += 
      "Local Maven Repository" at 
      "file:///"+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository",
    scalaVersion := "2.10.1" // <--- ! This is the fix !
  )

}
