That's great news.

I've tested it on a couple projects, updating sbt-plugin to 2.2.2-RC3 and sbt.version to 0.13.1.

All tests succeeded after running "sbt clean compile test dist" using the sbt loader at https://github.com/paulp/sbt-extras.

Scala 2.10.3 artifacts seem to be included in the dist jar:

-rw-r--r-- 1 fernando fernando 7126003 Sep 27 06:44 org.scala-lang.scala-library-2.10.3.jar

-rw-r--r-- 1 fernando fernando 3206936 Sep 27 06:45 org.scala-lang.scala-reflect-2.10.3.jar

So, these smoke tests seem to be OK. I'll start using this RC3 on my development work and see how it goes.

By the way, the change log page at http://www.playframework.com/changelog seems to be out-of-date.

Thanks for release.

My App works good.

But "eclipse" command failed.

$ eclipse

Does the guava update in master

https://github.com/playframework/playframework/commit/1e6ad919cb2a7a8f546a3cc8139b02d10b49fcf8

belong in 2.2.2?

I don't understand all the implications, but it sounds like JDK 1.7.51 breaks parts of guava <16.0.1, although the parts that are broken may not be used by Play itself...

thx for the new RC!

Thanks for the release.

However, the sbt-eclipse update seems to have introduced a new bug. I cannot use the "eclipse" command anymore :
[info] About to create Eclipse project files for your project(s).

I have use the "clean" command before the "eclipse" one.
Moreover, my build.properties contains sbt.version=0.13.1

Hi Aurélien,

A fix for that issue has been committed. Hopefully there will be another release soon with the fix (though I'm not sure when that will be)
