Answer 1

The problem was related to compatibility problems. SBT isn't directly compatible with JDK 8. I was able to resolve this by adding the dependency below.
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-java8-compat" % "0.2.0"

Answer 2

I tried the "best answer" and it didn't solve my problem. I learned that I was simply using the wrong sbt version. When I installed sbt 0.13.11 instead, the plugin error was solved.
