Java Play Framework - NoClassDefFoundError: play/Configuration

Question

I've just startet to work with the Java Play Framework and made some steps forward but now i intended to add the JavaEbean OEM and i went through the documentation but still get the error NoClassDefFoundError: play/Configuration

application.conf

    # This is the main configuration file for the application.
    # https://www.playframework.com/documentation/latest/ConfigFile

    ebean.default = ["models.*"]

plugins.sbt

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.7.0")
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "4.1.0")

My Model:

import io.ebean.Model;

public class Book extends Model {..}

build.sbt

name := """BookStoreApp"""
organization := "com.example"

version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayJava, PlayEbean)

scalaVersion := "2.12.8"

libraryDependencies += guice

i started with sbt, made the updates everything is fine, but if i compile, im getting the following error:

Do you have a database connection configured in your `conf/application.conf`? — Jack Bourne, Feb 25 '19 at 08:26

You need to change the play or ebean versions.

The play has changed the default Configuration class in the 2.7: https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.7.x/JavaConfigMigration26.

The ebean plugin versions and it correspondence to the play: https://github.com/playframework/play-ebean#releases

So the next

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.7.0")
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "4.1.0")

must be changed to

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.6.21")
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "4.1.0")

or

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.7.0")
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-play-ebean" % "5.0.0")

As i've seen it on a github report post, version 2.7.0 is somehow instable using ebean 5.0.0. Changing to play Version 2.6.6 and Ebean 4.6.1 did solve the problem! Thank you – jo-chris Feb 25 '19 at 23:03

*sbt-play-ebean v5.0.0* is not installable, so *v5.0.1* can be used with *play v2.7.0* – Tushar Walzade Apr 03 '19 at 13:49
on Play 2.8.8 I was receiving a similar error but it went away when i removed ```ebean.default = ["models.*"]``` – Yonz Aug 24 '21 at 22:35
