Compilation error - Create UI for Adding Tasks

using play 2.1.1 I get the following complication error:

error: cannot find symbol
In /home/richard/Play/play2torial/app/controllers/Application.java at line 18.

15 }
16
17 public static Result addTask() {
18 Form form = form(Task.class).bindFromRequest();
19 Task task = form.get();
20 task.save();
21 return redirect(routes.Application.index());
22 }
23

My application java looks like: (as far as I can tell It looks correct).

package controllers;

import play.;
import play.mvc.;

import views.html.*;
import models.Task;
import play.data.Form;

public class Application extends Controller {

public static Result index() {
    return ok(index.render("hello, world"));
}

public static Result addTask() {
    Form<Task> form = form(Task.class).bindFromRequest();
    Task task = form.get();
    task.save();
    return redirect(routes.Application.index());
}  

}

As far as I can tell I've following the tutorial correctly.

Any thoughts?

Errors when deploying to Heroku

Thank you for the tutorial, this is exceptionally helpful.

I can easily get Play to run on AWS, but I have been unsuccessfully able to deploy on Heroku. I created an account and then followed the steps listed in this tutorial.

If I follow the steps of creating the play2torial and even stop and the base application before doing all the configuration of views (meaning the standard app template), the application produces an error when I run heroku open (after following the deployment steps and creating the Procfile): 2015-03-04T20:33:24.826458+00:00 app[web.1]: bash: target/start: No such file or directory
2015-03-04T20:33:25.639509+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Process exited with status 127.

So since that didn't work for me, I tried to follow the cheat section where I just follow your instructions from (git clone git://github.com/jamesward/play2torial.git) and I receive the following error going that path:

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/shielded-beach-5570.git'

Of course, after the git, only the two *.md files are pulled down.

Deploying the project using the new sbt-heroku plugin does work (https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ProductionHeroku), however the view looks different from the my local instance as the remote only shows the message "Your new application is ready.". But this looks more like something related to the dist mode because when I run the start bat in the universal directory, it's not able to iframe in the remainder of the getting started content.

Sorry for such a noob question...thanks for the pointers.
