Activator will be EOL-ed on May 24, 2017

Hi all,

As previously mentioned, Play 2.6.x will not support Activator:

In addition to Play, you should know Activator will be EOL-ed on May 24, 2017, and Lightbend’s Activator server will be decommissioned by the end of 2017.  There are instructions on the Lightbend Core Tools site about migrating Activator templates to giter8 templates:

In addition, you should also checkout the Lightbend Tech Hub Start Page:

https://developer.lightbend.com/start/

Which fills the same role of downloading templates that let you get started right away.

Thanks,

Will.
