I’d really like to declare this in my Play project:

```
dependencies {
    play project(":my-scala-library")
}

```

It seems like `:my-scala-library` is assumed to be a Play project as well because I get circular task dependency errors like: `:my-scala-library:compilePlayBinaryScala` =\> … =\> `:my-scala-library:playBinary` =\> … =\> `:my-scala-library:compilePlayBinaryScala`

It wasn’t obvious to me how to prevent this. I thought may if there was a component-model ready scala-lang plugin that may help.

Any advice?
