sbt new RuntimeException

Question

I got lost trying to start with a scala toy example, when running sbt new scala/hello-world.g8 or even sbt new, the program crashes with the following error. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks in advance!

(In fact, I am running sbt -java-home /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-x64 new since my system uses older version of jdk by defualt)

I had this problem too. I fixed it by blowing away my ~/.ivy2 directory
