error after opening a project

Hello,

please add basic play framework (https://www.playframework.com/) support in java editor. There is already a plugin created by Geertjan Wielenga and Yann D'Isanto, but it is not actively developed and doesn't work properly in 8.0.2

http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/47637/nbplay
https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/entry/play_in_netbeans_ide_7

Looks like an initial work was well done, but it would be great to have official support.

1. Errors after opening an example application 
2. Scala templates not supported, lots of errors in editor
3. No go to definition from routes file to the corresponding controllers
4. Cannot set play home path in the Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Play, probably 'play' command was renamed to 'activator'

As the Play framework becomes common replacement of J2EE for reactive design I agree and increasing the priority.
Also as the competitive IntelliJ supports it we should support it as well.
