How do I create a Play! Framework web project with Maven?

Is there a Maven archetype out there to create a Play! Framework Java web application?

Thanks

What is framework in Maven?

It allows developers to create projects, dependency, and documentation using Project Object Model and plugins. It has a similar development process as ANT, but it is more advanced than ANT. Maven can also build any number of projects into desired output such as jar, war, metadata.

Is Play a MVC framework?

Play Framework is an open-source web application framework which follows the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is written in Scala and usable from other programming languages that are compiled to JVM bytecode, e.g. Java.

There is a community contributed extension to help you with this.

No, there is no Maven archetype. Play tries to distance a bit from standard Java EE practices, and it provides a full stack including dependency management.
