Ensime inferior scala mode - scala

Question

I've setup Emacs + Ensime for scala.
I'm able to start sbt console inside emacs using C-c C-v s
If i start scala console inside emacs using C-c C-v z, I get the following error
Welcome to Scala version 2.9.2 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_33).
scala>
Failed to initialize compiler: class scala.reflect.BeanInfo not found
What is the fix for this error? How do i get scala console running inside Emacs?

Answer 1

I've ran into a similar error recently, but here's how I worked around it (but I don't know how to fix it, so this is only half the answer). What I did was to customize the ensime-inf-default-cmd-line variable to have the value: '("sbt" "console"). Which will indeed start the interactive Scala environment.
EDIT:
Here's relevant parts from .emacs, but I'm not sure it will matter / will be the same in every install:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
;;
;; more stuff ...
;; I'm not sure this line is correct / makes any difference
'(ensime-inf-cmd-template (quote ("sbt" "console" "-classpath" :classpath)))
;; This variable is used to launch the interpreter
'(ensime-inf-default-cmd-line (quote ("sbt" "console"))))
(require 'scala-mode2)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.scala$" . scala-mode))
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/ensime/elisp/")
(require 'ensime)
(add-hook 'scala-mode-hook 'ensime-scala-mode-hook)
I've installed scala-mode2 from MELPA. Installed sbt version 0.12.0 by downloading an RPM from their site. I had previously JRE and JDK installed, the active version is OpenJDK 1.7. Scala installed is 2.9.2. I don't know how to identify Ensime's version :|
