Intellij 12 and internal compilation error when building scala project

Question

I have just downloaded Intellij 12.01 (build #IC-123.94) and once I try to build a Scala project I get the following stacktrace:

Internal error: (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException) org.jetbrains.jps.incremental.BinaryContent

Apparently, the problem comes from the openapi.jar inside the Intellij's lib folder, which was supposed to contain such a class.

Any pointers?

Regards.

Had the same issue with Idea 12, but after updating the Scala plugin to version 0.7.62, problem has been solved for me.

However, you can try to follow Idea's advice:

In case of any compilation problems you may enable the previous (internal) compiler by clearing: Project Settings / Compiler / Use external build
