This SBT plugin helps create Play Framework projects. Common dependencies I find useful are added by default, avoiding repetition in build files. The packageBin task will furthermore deviate from the default and package assets into the resulting jar.

• Custom release process
• Predefined buildinfo settings
• Support for running the app as an OS service (via sbt-native-packager)

addSbtPlugin("com.malliina" % "sbt-play" % "1.7.5")
