Fail to “play new” on Mac

Question

I run into an exception whenever trying play run on my Mac.

Detail stack track is as The new application will be created in /Users/admin/mine/test2

What is the application name? 
> test2    

Which template do you want to use for this new application? 

1 - Create a simple Scala application
2 - Create a simple Java application
3 - Create an empty project

Error during sbt execution: java.lang.StackOverflowError

Java version is OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-internal-henri_2011_06_08_08_48-b00) Scala version is 2.9.1 (install via brew) Sbt version is 0.11.3 Playframework version is 2.0.4 (same problem with 2.10 actually)

What should I do then?

Answer 1

Probably this is because of java version. You should try another java version. I use java version "1.6.0_37" on my mac.
