I have just installed scala 2.9.2 with Java 1.8.0_45, ( on Ubuntu 14.04) and on invoking the interactive scala shell with

$scala

I get the following error message:

scala>[init] error while loading class AnnotatedElement, class file /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/lib/rt.jar(java.lang.reflect/AnnotatedElement.class)' is broken, bad constant pool tag 18 at byte 76.

What is the problem here and how do I fix this?

BTW, any good reason for using an old version of Scala ? – Dici Aug 16 '15 at 21:49
That version of scala came with spark 1.4 as standard. – knban1 Aug 16 '15 at 22:15
Thx - updated scala to 2.11.7 – knban1 Aug 16 '15 at 22:15
