All,

I'm pleased to announce the initial release of the akka module for The Play! Framework! To install it, download and install play 1.1r842 (that's a nightly build, as the Scala support is in the works: http://download.playframework.org/1.1-nightly/play-1.1-unstable-r842.zip), then it's a simple matter of:

play install scala-head
play install akka-head
play new myNewApp --with scala-head,akka-head
cd myNewApp
play akka:run

And you're off! There are more detailed instructions here: http://github.com/dwhitney/akka/blob/master/README.textile and there are three screencasts

Screencast One for the akka module for The Play! framework: http://vimeo.com/10764693

Screencast Two for the akka Play! Module. Rudimentary Actors: http://vimeo.com/10792173

**watch the third one if nothing else!**
Screencast Three for the akka Play! module. Remote Actors: http://vimeo.com/10793443

I'd like to thank Peter Hausel for his advice in getting this started, and we're both going to work on improving this with future releases!

Dustin

Dustin,

I watched your screencasts this morning.  I don't use the playframework, but still found them very helpful.

Thanks

Ugh I've never used play in windows. I'm on vacation right now. I'll
give it a shot when my girlfriend inevitably goes shopping without me

Sorry I still haven't checked this, but I'd suggest using the build
that I linked to in the announcement. The github mirror doesn't seem
to keep up to date with the development in the real repository. The
build I mentioned has more than two weeks more of commits than the
github mirror
