sbt.ResolveException: download failed: javax.ws.rs#javax.ws.rs-api;2.1-m05!javax.ws.rs-api.${packaging.type}

[wpr]

The last few days, I've been getting this exception when trying to ./activate compile my project. I'm not very familiar with sbt so I'm really struggling at how to fix this. Here is the full debug log:

This is play v. 2.5.12.

${packaging.type) appears in the URI's. This is an unresolved substitution. packaging.type likely should be defined in the Build.sbt file of the sbt project. It seems to refer to archive type, as in jar, zip, tar.gz
