So, I was working on Scala with Play Framework for some time now. I have to compile the source code provided by the client from time to time and I have faced this issue nearly everytime whenever I use a new developer machine.
When I run the "play clean", "play update", "play compile" or the "play run" command on the provided project, I get the error as sbt.ResolveException: download failed: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.6.6!slf4j-api.jar.
Below is a screenshot of this error message:
I tried a bunch of ways to solve this issue, but only one method seems to work.
The first thing you need to do is edit the /project/plugins.sbt file and add the latest version of sbt-plugin in the addSbtPlugin section.
Now, delete the ivy directory present at ~/.ivy2
Then, go ahead and delete the below mentioned files:

- <path to Play Framework home directory>/.sbt.ivy.lock
- <path to Play Framework home directory>/cache/org.slf4j
- <path to Play Framework home directory>/local/org.slf4j
Then, run the same play command which you ran earlier.
As shown in the below screenshots, this time the command ran successfully without any sort of error.
