you have reason, and this is due to a feature added in 2.0 (or 2.0.1
if I remember well) to ensure that code is run in the right thread
(some in the EDT and other not in the EDT).

The same problem happen if you run a Pivot project done with maven
(for example using our archetype under apache-extras).
Some related info here (I have to remember to update even this to
Pivot-2.0.3 after released):

probably we should find a way to let common build tools like maven,
sbt and gradle to bypass (or white-list related launchers) this check
(if possible).
To not forget it, could you create a JIRA issue for this ?

Last, could you attach in the issue (and/or here) a minimal sample sbt
project to simplify my tests ? This would be a great speedup for my
tests ...

Thanks a lot.

Bye,
Sandro
