Thank you for the ticket, @checat.

The reason that sbt.ModuleID.withName is not found is that it only exists as of 0.13.16-RC1 (as of sbt/sbt#3215) which is what we built the plugin against. I should have at least targeted sbt 0.13.15.

The workaround is to upgrade your build to sbt 0.13.16-RC1, by changing the sbt.version in the project/build.properties file.

More generally, there is (currently) no facility in sbt to define the minimum sbt version. That feature is requested at sbt/sbt#2880.
