Question

I’m using scala in my app, it run without problem, but if I add neo4j in the dependencies, it throws a NoSuchMethod error. I didn’t even have references to any neo4j classes in my code…

I have no problem using play framework with scala, or play framework (Java) with neo4j, just when using both together, it crash…

and I tried both neo4j 1.4.2 and 1.5.M02 to no avail.

thanks for any help~

it turns out that scala-library-2.9.0-1.jar is included as a dependency for neo4j…

every time I run play dependencies it will be downloaded into the lib folder, after I delete it from the folder, it works without problem (so far I just have code for starting and shutting down of the DB).
