The Play2 plug-in provides first-class support for Play2 Route and Template files in Eclipse, for both Java and Scala projects. In practice, what this means is that some of the features your are used to having in the Scala or Java Editor (e.g., syntax highlighting, errors-as-you-type reporting, code completion, hyperlinking) are also available when editing Play2 files.
This plugin provides Eclipse supports for Play 2.3.x projects. However, it should also work with older Play releases.

Eclipse WTP: The Play2 plug-in depends on the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) Project. There are two ways in which the Eclipse WTP Project can be installed:
-
Automatically: when installing the Play2 plug-in through one of the update-sites detailed below, check the box
Contact all update sites during install to find required softwareas seen in the screenshot below. -
Manually: Eclipse WTP can be manually installed using an update-site specific to your version of Eclipse.
- For Eclipse 4.4 (Luna), use: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/luna.

-
Install the Scala IDE. Even if you plan on using Play2 from Java, installing the Scala IDE is a requirement.
-
The latest stable release of the Play2 plug-in can be installed via the same update-site that you used to install the Scala IDE. The Play2 plug-in is listed under the Scala IDE plugins group.
Alternatively, if you like to stay on the cutting edge, you can install the nightly build of the Play2 plug-in using the following update-site: http://download.scala-ide.org/play2/2.11.x/nightly-scala-ide-nightly-e44/site/
If you are new to Play2, read the Play Eclipse setup guide.
