I haven't been able to guess enough of the context of this to be able
to reproduce the problem ... if you can put together a small, complete
and reproducible test case that'd be really helpful.

2.7.3.RC1 is available now and RC2 is imminent ... please see if
you're able to reproduce the problem on either or both and open a
ticket if you can.

Thanks ...

Sounds like a resident compiler bug. If you want to test it from the command line, use scalac -Yresident and recompile the file twice from the resident shell.

The command line scalac seems to be fine (although maybe it has a common denominator with clean build). I solved the problem by discovering a new syntax: Seq(classOf[java.lang.Byte]: Class[_], classOf... -- putting a type annotation on each element. I knew about :_* but I thought it was a specialized syntax. This is plugin 2.7.2final. Has this been fixed, or is it a known bug? If not could I ask you a favor to file it for me since when you reply I won't be around Internet access. When was/will the fix be released? Thanks a ton!
