It is nice to hear it, and I would like to give it a try...if I could actually DOWNLOAD it.

The download link on the website for the new release points to https://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.5/typesafe-activator-1.3.5-minimal.zip, as does links for all the 2.3.x and 2.4.x releases. Am I missing something? Is it suposed to be this way? Where can I get the offline (~400 Mb) Play 2.3.10 distribution package?

Greetings,
Juan Carlos

Yep.

Activator is the tool used to create/run/build play projects. You can get the offline distribution here:


After that, you just need to upgrade the Play version in project/plugins.sbt file.

Best,

No.

Yes.

Where can I get the offline (~400 Mb) Play 2.3.10 distribution package?

There is none. Our direction with Play has been to fall in line with the JVM ecosystem in general, where all dependencies are deployed to maven central and downloaded on demand by a build tool (in this case, sbt).

The offline activator package is primarily intended for getting started, for example, for use in workshops/training courses etc.

BTW, download on demand works well in an office, but not so well on a plane.  Use "offline := true" to ensure you can work offline with all your dependencies if you're without wifi.

Got it, thanks. It sounds good, for an highly-connected development environment. But I work at home with a 56k modem (yes, they still exist :)), so on demand download is not an option in my case. Can you sugest some way to run the dependencies resolution once (at school, for example) and bing them home?

Regards

Build the project at school, copy the the contents of ~/.ivy2/cache onto a USB stick, and then copy that over your ~/.ivy2/cache directory at home.  Some resolution may still need to be done at home, which could be slow, but all the jar artifacts shouldn't need to be downloaded again.

I was also curious about using earlier versions of Play with the new Activator scheme. Is it that every time I make a new project with Activator and wish to use an earlier version of Play that I have to go through all of the steps in reverse to downgrade from 2.4 to 2.3?

NVM. For all interested in using a Play 2.3.x release with Activator, run
 
activator new [app_name] play-java-2.3

It would be nice to be able to include this template in the default list that shows up when I run the activator command
