scalac error: bad option: '-make:transitive' on mvn package via command line

Question

Following http://docs.scala-lang.org/tutorials/scala-with-maven.html to setup a simple scala maven project.

I got a BUILD SUCCESS after setting up scala-archetype-simple

Answer 1

I just removed -make:transitive from pom.xml and compilation worked.

Also you may need to add

org.specs2
specs2-junit_${scala.compat.version}
2.4.16
test

to get test passed.
