Hello again, Sorry again to send you guys such a generic error. Seems eclispe did not want to give me any good error messages. I switched over to intellij and was able to get everything up and running after resolving two blockers:
1) under Settings>Build, Execution, Deployment>Scala Compiler under the core project the "additional compiler options:" had the -target set to "jvm-1.8" which seems is not supported by scala 2.11. removing that option and running under JDK 1.7 got me past there. 2) under Project Structure>Project Settings>Modules the "Kafka" module's compile output had the same path for both output and test output which was preventing the compiler. I will go back with the Eclispe/Scala IDE setup and see if these two errors were also preventing there and in the end will create a write up on my adventures for review. Sorry again about the total newbieness of my prior email. I will work harder on digging deeper before my next query to the list. Jonathan.
