Is the conf / play.plugins file enough in Play 2.1.x?

Question

I have not officially seen the documentation, but it seems that in Play 1 and 2, updating the conf/play.plugins is a must-have for plugins to be included.

eg. as described in this article articles from objectify.be

Regardless of the implementation language, plugins are connected directly to Play, as soon as you add them to the conf / play.plugins file. This file is not created when starting a new application, so you need to add it yourself. Syntax:. For example, to add an example plugin to your project, you should use

  10000:be.objectify.example.MyExamplePlugin 

Is it still required in Play 2.1.x?

Answer 1

After looking at the source code , you still need to create conf/play.plugins manually.
