Where is the library library of the Play Framework?

I am trying to use Play Framework 2.3.2 using a standalone installation with Activate Activator 1.2.3 on Mac OS X 10.9.4.

In the folder activator-1.2.3that I unpacked, there is a folder repositorythat looks like my folder ~/.ivy2/cache, because it contains folders for ... libraries? Ligaments? I do not know the terminology.

Now, as I understand it, Activator uses SBT, and SBT uses Ivy to manage dependencies. Ivy is something like Maven, it even uses its own repositories.

My question is this:

  • If I open a Play Framework project and Activator downloads all the dependencies, what exactly is happening?
  • Is there any other process when I start building a project?
  • Where are the libraries (packages?) Downloaded?
  • Is the folder activator-1.2.3/repositorysomething like a bootstrap, and all the other dependencies - ~/.ivy2?
  • What if I installed Maven and there was a folder ~/.m2?

So you see that I completely lost this. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Since 2.3.x Play is distributed as an Activator distribution that contains all Plays dependencies to follow sbt rules, that is, locally built dependencies / libraries go to ~/.ivy2/localwhile the cache of loaded dependencies / libraries is under ~/.ivy2/cache.

And later in the document What's New in Play 2.3 :

- ivy

, .ivy2 .

, Play sbt, , .

update (, , compile run) Play 2.3.x, ~/.ivy2/cache.

activator-1.2.3/repository Ivy2, , -.

~/.m2 , Resolvers. sbt.

fullResolvers, /.
