Question

I have a sample app written in Play and Scala talking to Amazon DynamoDB and I’m trying to deploy it onto Heroku. Heroku only has instructions to deploy either a Play app or Scala app but not both. I have attempted to merge the instructions for both but coming up short. I’m seeing this error,

   Project loading failed: (r)etry, (q)uit, (l)ast, or (i)gnore?  !     Failed to build app with SBT 0.11.0
   ! Heroku push rejected, failed to compile Scala app

Also, I’m new to Java, Play and Scala but am familiar with deploying Rails app on Heroku.

Either change your version of com.typesafe.startscript:xsbt-start-script-plugin:0.3.0 to 0.5.0 (where ever you have specified this dependency) or edit build.properties file to set sbt.version=0.11.0.
