Answer 1

this might be proxy issue.
Edit $SBT_HOME/conf directory/sbtconfig.txt file and add following entries:
-Dhttp.proxyHost=<proxy server>
-Dhttp.proxyPort=<proxy port>
-Dhttp.proxyUser=<username>
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=<password>
-Dhttps.proxyHost=<proxy server>
-Dhttps.proxyPort=<proxy port>
-Dhttps.proxyUser=<username>
-Dhttps.proxyPassword=<password>
-Dftp.proxyHost=<proxy server>
-Dftp.proxyPort=<proxy port>
-Dftp.proxyUser=<username>
-Dftp.proxyPassword=<password>
Notes:
https settings are necessary as many urls referred by the SBT are https based.
Don't include "http://" in the value

Answer 2

I faced a similar issue. Seems like the issue is with the java that is used. By mistake my environment was pointing to jre rather than jdk. After pointing to right JAVA_HOME as below, the sbt clean package compile worked fine.
