7.7.4 compilation problem with SBT

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

I had a working project and I upgraded to 7.7.4 to accomodate the free chart wrapper and now I cannot compile. Errors are below. Any ideas?

So I stripped out all the .java files from vaadin-server-7.7.4.jar in the local ivy cache… and frighteningly, this allowed the project to compile and run.

Can anyone offer an explanation for what’s going on here?
