Hi all,

As I am expecting to be participating here in the near future I started 
tracking down some problems I was having with debugging the CLI … Here’s a 
summary of things I noticed:

General Observations:
The Readme claims to require Java 7 or above … I think it requires 8 … even if 
the build does sort of run with Java 7, as soon as I execute anything I am 
getting “Unsupported major.minor version 52.0” errors.
I guess some library might be referenced that requires Java 8.

Debugging in IntelliJ:
Even if I am able to run things in IntelliJ, when it comes to debugging it’s 
almost not usable as I can’t inspect any variables.
All I can see is the names and a “Collecting data …” behind them.

So I consulted a Scala expert here at my company and he suggested to manually 
install sbt (Not use the bundled sbt-launcher contained in the IntelliJ SBT 
plugin) and start it on a console with:

sbt -jvm-debug 5005 -mem 8123

The I connected to that via normal IntelliJ Java remote debugging connection.

After that as long as I don’t expand the “this” variable if it says anything 
with “ROOT” in it, I am able to debug things.

Chris
