Play framework is becoming more and more popular. I am using gradle for pretty much all my projects except Play. There’s some custom/dodgy solutions to integrate gradle and play but would be nice to have a proper solution allowing play and gradle to work together. ---

We are actively working on Gradle core support for Play. Right now it is mostly foundational work. But expect something that you can play with over the next months.  ---

Good to hear! I am wondering how hard for you and how nice for us is it going to be though. With Typesafe pushing more and more on SBT and activator, which have a very different way of doing things compared to gradle, I am wondering if that’s even going possible for you without Typesafe doing an effort on their side. Good luck with that! 🙂 ---

We can do a good job without requiring changes on Play. Furthermore I think enterprises don’t want to deal with more than one major build system. So this will be good for Play adoption in the enterprise. I see this as offering choice to Play users and I assume that this is how Typesafe also sees this. ---

Good to hear about this… Is there beta version, I can start using ? ---

Not yet. But it should be available in the upcoming months. ---

Hey Pavel, we’re actively working on this at the moment. We got basic support for building and running a simple play app. But there are still some missing bits (like handling different kind of assets, build a distribution, etc). If you download a _all_ distribution of a nightly gradle build, there is a play example in the docs/sample folder. Currently we just support play 2.2.3 and 2.3.5. This will evolve over time and is far from stable. Any feedback is highly appreciated  cheers, René ---

Superb!!! Can’t wait for this to be publicly available. In the mean time though, is there a way to start using gradle as a wrapper around activator/sbt? Armin ---

Awesome. What is the best way for me to receive updates about this? I’m wanting to follow this closely. ---

Is play compiles scheduled to be released in 2.3 ?
