I'm a beginner user of Play Framework 2.1.3 and I have just created a new Java application and I have run play eclipse to generate the eclipse project for it. I have also tested so that it works by doing aplay run.

So I'm following this tutorial and there is a step where you should add this piece of code:

public static Result index() {
  return redirect(routes.Application.tasks());
}

But I'm getting the message "routes cannot be resolved". I have also tried play compile and in Eclipse doing a clean and refreshing the project to no avail.

Did you have these in your conf/routes file?

# Home page
GET     /                       controllers.Application.index()
                                
# Tasks          
GET     /tasks                  controllers.Application.tasks()
POST    /tasks                  controllers.Application.newTask()
POST    /tasks/:id/delete       controllers.Application.deleteTask(id: Long)

In case someone else experience this bug:

Just upgrade sbteclipse to version 5.1.0 (which was released on January 12th 2017) - it finally fixes this bug.
