Error creating Play 2 module

I've been trying to create add a Play 2 module to my project now for about an hour, and I can't seem to get it work. I can't even get a new (empty) Play 2 project started.

I'm on OS X 10.8.3, using IDEA 12.1.2 (#IU-129.354) and Scala 2.10.1. I've tried Play 2.1.0 and 2.1.1, and I keep getting the following exception. I'm having a hard time nailing down the exact steps because it seems like sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Am I missing something?

com.intellij.openapi.util.InvalidDataException: Cannot create Play 2 module:  Use 'last' for the full log.

This is still happening in IntelliJ 12.1.6. Tobin, did you ever resolve it?

Thanks

We are integrating SBT with Play2 plugin right now, so in IntelliJ IDEA 13 everything will work in normal cycle (with auto-import mode).
As for IntelliJ IDEA 12 I can suggest only to use "play idea" or even better "sbt gen-idea" (we also have alpha version of SBT plugin for IDEA 12, but it's not working with SBT 0.13).

Best regards,
Alexander Podkhalyuzin,

No, I gave up, ended up not even using Scala.
