Build Play20 with latest sources, and let's play.
All the steps to run your first play 2 web application using latest play improvements; until the first stable release will be ready. The idea here is to build yourself Play. Eclipsify is now taken into account, so once all the steps described here are done, you can import it into eclipse IDE.
Now everything is ready, to test and modify the simple scala project application using eclipse. More information can be found on : play20 and scala ide 20 tutorial.
