Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Start Play 2.2.1
Start Play Server for develpment mode
Load a Page using the browser
Play starts to compile then crashes

ACTUAL -
Compilation fails so it's impossible to continue the development
