Plugins failed on Marathon 1.3.1

[simonandluna]

When I try to run marathon 1.3.1 with this plugin, it always gave the error of not being able to find the method of play.api.libs.json.JsLookup.

However, the compiled plugin jar indeed contains the method:

$jar -tf /var/marathon/plugins/marathon_plugin.jar | grep "play/api/libs/json/JsLookupResult"
play/api/libs/json/JsLookupResult$$anonfun$getOrElse$1.class
play/api/libs/json/JsLookupResult$.class
play/api/libs/json/JsLookupResult$class.class
play/api/libs/json/JsLookupResult.class

I have tried many versions of play-json from 2.4.1 to 2.5.8. It won't work.

Any ideas?
