That is scalac complaining.  A quick Google search "scalac encrypted home" 
yields https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-3623

I did not spend more than 5 min on that -- presently I am still engaged in 
getting Isabelle2013 released, and I am not following the Isabelle 
repository (which always requires substantial extra time).

If you find out more about what the Scala guys managed to do there 1 or 2 
years ago, you are welcome to report the findings here.  There is a 
natural inflow of problems from the greater Scala/JVM world that cannot be 
avoided, but sometimes it is possible to dodge them nonetheless.
