Gradle plugin for 2.7 or 2.8

[yfeleke (Yonatan)]

The current state of affairs on the gradle plugin for playframework is that it only supports Play 2.6 and has created a lot of strife for developers. Are there any instructions on setting up play framework with a MavenLocal plugin? A good blog post will do as well.

For maintainers please take a second to advise on getting Gradle plugin to tip, just because we move out the software model is no excuse to neglect a whole community that relies on their grade build tooling.

The current state of affairs on the gradle plugin for playframework is that it only supports Play 2.6

It seems basic 2.7 support has been on master for a while (Preliminary Play 2.7 Support by arjunchhabra · Pull Request #110 · gradle/playframework · GitHub), but there hasn’t been a 0.10 release yet since.

Seems like 2.8 support is almost there (Add Play 2.8 support by benmccann · Pull Request #133 · gradle/playframework · GitHub) but looking for a contributor to do the last mile.

Are there any instructions on setting up play framework with a MavenLocal plugin?

There’s no way to build Play 2.x application with Maven as far as I’m aware.
