How do I see where this compilation error is occurring?

I'm trying to compile a scala project.  It has a pom file declaring the dependencies.  When I do a Build All, I get this error:

However I have no idea where the problem is because it doesn't tell me what class failed to compile.

The message is from SBT compiler, we can't clarify it more. I would suggest you to get next nighlty build of Scala plugin when it will be available tonight (http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/SCA/Scala+Plugin+Nightly+Builds+for+Cardea). It will contain non-SBT compiler. So probably message will be different or disappear (then it's SBT compiler bug, however new compiler will be faster, that's another reason to migrate).

Best regards,

How do I change the compiler?  I tried turning off the external compiler but that didn't change anything.  I'm using latest greatest 13 EAP.

I'll upload soon Scala plugin version (into plugin repository, not nightly) with re-implemented incremental compilation enabled by default.

For now in nightly builds you can open IDE Settings -> Scala -> Incremental compilation by: -> IntelliJ IDEA.

Best regards,
Alexander Podkhalyuzin.
