Play framework 2.4: NoClassDefFoundError: play/api/cache/CachePlugin

Question

In trying to update from Play 2.2 to Play 2.4, I've hit this stumbling block.

I've got the memcached2 plugin also added but disabled.

my conf file:

# Cache configuration
# ~~~~~
# To avoid conflict with play2-memcached's Memcached-based cache module
play.modules.disabled+="com.github.mumoshu.play2.memcached.MemcachedModule"
play.modules.enabled+="play.api.cache.EhCacheModule"

# Well-known configuration provided by Play
play.modules.cache.defaultCache=default
play.modules.cache.bindCaches=["db-cache", "user-cache", "session-cache"]

Taken from the example on the github page: https://github.com/mumoshu/play2-memcached

The relevant part in my build.sbt:

lazy val buildSettings = Seq(
  scalaVersion := "2.10.5"
)

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayJava, PlayEbean, SbtTwirl)
  .settings(buildSettings: _*)

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  javaJdbc,
  cache,
  javaWs,

  "net.spy" % "spymemcached" % "2.12.0",
  "com.github.mumoshu" %% "play2-memcached-play24" % "0.7.0"
)

I'm getting the following stacktrace:

And I'm stumped. At no point do I see where this problem originates. Also, it appears the old "play dependencies" command, providing that nice ASCII chart of what version of what jar was needed by which other dependency, is gone. The current "show allDependencies" is just a list of the things I have listed in my sbt file as dependencies.

EDIT:

As requested, after changing all dependencies to 2.11.7, and the scalaVersion in the build.sbt file, I get this:

Answer 1

I think you need to enable MemCachedModule and Disable EhCacheModule

play.modules.enabled+="com.github.mumoshu.play2.memcached.MemcachedModule"
play.modules.disabled+="play.api.cache.EhCacheModule"

Please review configuration @ https://github.com/mumoshu/play2-memcached

Another suggestion Is:

The Play works in 2.4 it totally different from 2.2. The initialization has been totally changed with Guice DI coming into it.

Plugins should be migrated to Modules.

There is no CachePlugin class from Play 2.4.* onwards

Play tells:

Note: Scala 2.10 does not have full support to all Java 8 language features, like static methods on interfaces. If your project has Java code using these new features present in Java 8, upgrade to use Scala 2.11.6+. See sbt docs to learn how to set scalaVersion to your project.
