Just downloaded and installed activator 1.3.9 for Play-Scala 2.3.8 on a new fresh Ubuntu 15.10 box (jdk 8, scala 2.11.6 were already installed).

The problem is that the activator no longer works and I always get the following errors (even with the latest version of the activator):

j3d@gonzo:~$ activator

Tried to remove .sbt, .ivy2... but no way. It looks like there is something broken somewhere. Any help would be really appreciated.

... also the very latest version doesn't work... does anyone of you guys tried to run the activator on a now machine? So far I've installed the activator many and many times and always worked... so it really looks like there is something broken somewhere.

OK, got it. The problem was the JDK. My Ubuntu box had OpenJDK-8 installed on it... but the activator doesn't work with it (don't ask me why). Eventually I just removed OpenJDK-8 and installed Oracle's Java 8. Now it works.
