Description

I try to build spark by using the command ./build/sbt

I get the following error -
Attempting to fetch sbt
Launching sbt from build/sbt-launch-0.13.7.jar
Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile build/sbt-launch-0.13.7.jar

I debugged and found out that URL1 repo is outdated. So it's giving 404. The problem I found with the curl script is that it didn't tried the URL2

Also the ULR2 is now being redirected. So the curl command should have -L option to follow redirect.

To fix:
1. curl should try URL2 if URL1 is not working
2. use -L option in curl to follow rediect
