[SOLVED] issue with jnotify jar dependency when using play framework on amazon aws

issue with jnotify jar dependency when using play framework on amazon aws

I installed play framework 2.4 on ubuntu 14 (aws) but everytime I compile the project, sbt cannot pull the jnotify dependency. The last *:update command shows the following:

sbt.ResolveException: download failed: net.contentobjects.jnotify#jnotify;0.94-play-1!jnotify.jar(src)

Any ideas on what might be causing it (including if I need to setup activator again)

I used the offline distribution to download play framework on the server. Activator is correctly setup and has the right privileges.
