The java installation you have is not up to date
sbt requires at least version 1.6+, you have
version 0
Please go to http://www.java.com/getjava/ and download
a valid Java Runtime and install before running sbt.

Answer 1

The message you get is misleading. I also had the same issue, although sbt worked fine till yesterday, I encountered the same message today.
After some search I came up to the answer below which indicates that something is wrong with your PATH env. variable.
Running Jmeter gives 'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Right Click on My Computer, then click Properties, followed by Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables Look for the Path System Variable Add this path to the end, after a semicolon: C:\Windows\System32

Answer 2

Ok ... I found the issue...(my mistake actually)
I removed the sbt installed path (c:/programfiles/sbt/bin) which i added in the TMP environment variable. After removing (c:/programfiles/sbt/bin) from TMP, it worked.
thanks everyone for your suggestions :)
