ClassNotFoundException on Marshal.load - serialization

Question

I'm trying to do a marshal dump and load in Scala...
import scala.util.Marshal
case class Test(test: String)
val t = Test("hello")
val bytes = Marshal.dump(t)
Marshal.load[Test](bytes)
...but the call to Marshal.load is throwing a ClassNotFoundException...
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Test

I've also tried using the fully qualified class name but with no luck. What am I missing?

Which version of SBT are you using? I had similar problems with SBT 0.7.7 and resolved them by adding the following to my build:
// cause the SBT "run" action to fork
override def fork = Some(new ForkScalaRun() {
override def scalaJars = Seq(buildLibraryJar.asFile, buildCompilerJar.asFile)
})
Causing the "run" action to fork seems to resolve class loader problems, and problems with trapping System.exit calls:
