Maven support

This module lets you manage your dependencies with Maven

Getting Started

first you need to download and install apache maven

finally, you need to install the play-maven module

play install maven

Activate module

NOTE: due to this reported bug: commands.py loading breaks if more than one module , this module does not work together with ivy module, or maybe other modules.

for existing projects, you can add the following line to your conf/application.conf:

module.maven=${play.path}/modules/maven

if you start from scratch, you can create an ivy project with play new myapp --with maven command, which will active the module and execute play mvn:init.

play-maven specific commands

play mvn:init

installs play-parent project (a Maven pom project) into local Maven repository. Then creates the appropriate pom.xml. After this step, you can add your dependencies to pom.xml

play mvn:update // or play mvn:up

retrieves all defined dependencies and then it copies them into your app/lib folder

play mvn:refresh // or play mvn:re

clears your app/lib folder first, then it executes play mvn:up

play mvn:source // or play mvn:src

retrieves all sources (if available) of defined dependencies and then it copies them into app/lib folder
