How to use play-plugins-mailer with Play 2.3 and Scala 2.11?

Question

I am trying to use the play plugin for sending emails:

https://github.com/playframework/play-mailer

I have followed the instructions as found on github: adde

Answer 1

It looks like the problem is somehow with the version of plugin that is available in the typesafe repo:

I've built the plugin from sources, published it to my local repository and then everything compiled fine.

In the build.sbt of the sample app there is:

resolvers += Resolver.file("LocalIvy", file(Path.userHome + File.separator + ".ivy2" + File.separator + "local"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns)

So it looks like the authors also had problems in compiling the app using the plugin deployed to the official repository.

UPDATE: Well, it compiled fine, but then failed at runtime with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.typesafe.plugin.CommonsMailerPlugin

UPDATE 2: The sample play.plugins is also wrong, the correct one should be:

1500:play.api.libs.mailer.CommonsMailerPlugin

and then eveyrthing finally works
