Conflicting cross-version suffixes (sbt, Scala-STM, Play-JSON)

Question

I am using a JSON extension which relies on Mandubian's play-json 2.2-SNAPSHOT. Everything worked fine until now I have a project based on Scala-STM. sbt reports the following problem:

[error] Modules were resolved with conflicting cross-version suffixes 
        in {file:folder}project:
[error]    org.scala-stm:scala-stm _2.10, _2.10.0
java.lang.RuntimeException: Conflicting cross-version suffixes in: 
  org.scala-stm:scala-stm

Is there any chance to dig deeper into where these two "conflicting" versions come from? I am quite surprised that play-json should be depending on scala-stm?!

Furthermore, is there a way to convince sbt to shut the ... up. Because obviously 2.10 and 2.10.0 are equivalent versions.

---

EDIT: This seems to be an sbt 0.13 bug (and probably has nothing to do with Play-JSON), because if I revert to 0.12.4, the project successfully updates and builds. I am still interested in a work around for sbt 0.13.

Answer 1

You can get around this by removing scala-stm with exclude

 "dependencyGroupId" %% "dependencyArtifactId" % "dependencyVersion" exclude("org.scala-stm", "scala-stm_2.10.0")

Do not forget to do sbt clean.
