SBT builder crashed with error message "null"

Question

My setup:

Ubuntu 12.04

Java 1.6.0_45

Eclipse 3.7.2

Scala IDE 2.0.0.v-2_08-201112200107-82421c5

Situation: I tried to run the source code of Kafka, which is wrote in Scala, and with java files. after the import(there seems no error), the problem view shows like this:

Error Description: The SBT builder crashed while compiling your project. This is a bug in the Scala compiler or SBT. Check the Erorr Log for details. The error message is: null

I hate to say this but keep compiling. Sometimes the type checker just runs out of stack. — wheaties
I changed workspace, compiled again, but without change, the error message is still null... — sphinx13

One reason this may be happening is that your classpath is incomplete. Make sure all binaries needed by Kafka are in the Build classpath of your Eclipse project.
