QueryParam of Option of scala primitive results in error about dropwizard-scala

[anant-indix]

Option[java.lang.Long] is working but not Option[scala.Long] because
java.lang.Long implements java.lang.reflect.Type
whereas scala.Long doesn't

com.datasift.dropwizard.scala.jersey.inject.ScalaParamConvertersProvider overrides method
override def getConverter[T](rawType: Class[T], genericType: Type, annotations: Array[Annotation]): ParamConverter[T] = {
So essentially none of the native classes in "scala" package would work.

Unsurprisingly the same behavior is noted with scala Longs and Booleans.

Essentially, we need reflection compatibility between scala types and java types, to get the above to work, I guess - there's an open ticket - https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-7317
