Error in Scala Compiler: java.lang.AssertionError: assertion failed (even when project dependency is specified in Eclipse)

java eclipse scala scala-ide

I get the following error(stack trace at the end) when I try to compile my Scala project in Eclipse. It says that assertion failed on a Java class TransportConf (which is in a project spark-network-common which is specified in the Java Build Path). I checked the target folder and the TransportConf.class exists

Possible cause for issue as it was working before:

  • I was merging code from upstream/master into my project and new dependencies were introduced. I normally run sbt {reload, eclipse with-source=true} and then refresh my eclipse projects. Is this the right approach?

Things I have done: - Update the spark-network-common compilation level to 1.6 as somehow the compilation level was set to 1.4 and I was getting errors for Java generics.

eclipse.buildId=3.0.3-20140327-1716-Typesafe
java.version=1.8.0_05
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86_64, WS=cocoa, NL=en_US

Doing a mvn clean fixed the above error. I had done a build with mvn before and then also used sbt.
