Missing info on “Setup and use Play framework 2.0 in Scala IDE 2.0” page

Followed instructions on this page and got this error message:

After some investigation this was because I’d download play to /usr/local and made it owned by root. The official Play website warns: “(Running play writes some files to directories within the archive, so don’t install to /opt, /usr/local or anywhere else you’d need special permission to write to.)”

Can you add this warning to the page on scala-ide.org please?
