Scala Plugin 1.3.1 - Build error "Cannot run program '/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java' ..." Follow

I'm running with the following setup:
- IntelliJ Idea 14.0.3 Ultimate Edition
- Scala Plugin 1.3.1
- JDK 1.8.0_31
- Typesafe Activator 1.2.12
- Ubuntu 14.10

I've created a project using the "play-java-spring" Activator template, imported it into IntelliJ and tried to build it (Ctrl + F9), but I get the following error:

Error:Internal error: (java.io.IOException) Cannot run program "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java" (in directory "/home/user/Some%20Dir/play-java-spring"): error=2, No such file or directory

The "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java" is a valid path on my system:

user@laptop:~$ file /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, BuildID[sha1]=bd74b7294ebbdd93e9ef3b729e5aab228a3f681b, not stripped

Running the project with SBT works fine. What could be causing this problem?
