Typesafe Activator Behind Corporate Proxy Fails

Question

I'm trying to use Typesafe Activator behind a corporate proxy using CNTLM on Windows. I've set up the appropriate configs in ~.activator\\activatorconfig.txt.

I know I've set it up correctly as I can see activator and the proxy talk to each other and I can see activator succeed in downloading lots of jars. For some reason though it fails at junit 4.5 and com.typesafe.akka#akka-testkit_2.11;2.3.3 . Meanwhile, sbt succeeds in downloading everything it needs.

The same happens if I try on other machines. This happens with jdk 7. With jdk 8 it fails to download anything.

Has anyone seen this before or had a similar experience?

Would you mind trying these snapshots which have proxy-related bug fixes?

Also, be sure to set https.proxyHost etc in addition to http.proxyHost etc

Thanks!
