Describe the bug

I'm trying to start a Scala sbt project (which used to work recently) and getting the following in the Metals log:

Metals version: 1.4.0

Trying again with the embedded coursier. This might take longer.

Please note the line:

Error: --add-exports requires modules to be specified

When trying to debug on my own, I noticed this may come from a wrong (outdated?) Java.
I updated and still no joy.

Any help (or providing directions) in debugging is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Expected behavior

Expect the project to be loaded (as it used to load and still loads in Intellij e.g.)

Operating system

Linux

Editor/Extension

VS Code

Version of Metals

v.1.4.0

Extra context or search terms

No response

Do you have .sbtopts or .jvmopts specified? We might be taking the properties from there. Adding exports should not be necessary

[tgodzik]

Or you could try changing meta.serverProperties to see if the defaults are causing issues

I'm having a clean project like:

sbt new scala/hello-world.g8
copying runtime jar...
[info] [launcher] getting org.scala-sbt sbt 1.10.5  (this may take some time)...
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation

A template to demonstrate a minimal Scala application

Template applied in /home/sergey/./hw

None of the .sbtopts or .jvmopts do exist
