Failed to initialize compiler: object java.lang.Object in compiler mirror not found

Question

On Ubuntu 16.04, I installed scala:

$ls ~/Binary/scala-2.11.8
bin  doc  lib  man
$grep -A 2 SCALA ~/.bashrc
SCALA=~/Binary/scala-2.11.8
SBT=~/Bi         


        

Answer 1

Installing Java 8 resolved this issue.

I downloaded java 8 and i extracted that to the following location : /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_172

After doing this update the JAVA_HOME path to the same : /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_172

This will resolve the issue.
