In the end, I decided to use an older version of Play! framework because it comes with a binary “play” (not an activator).
Having placed myself on my project, I typed:
$ play
> eclipse with-source=true
I don’t know why, but I can’t access the same way:
[1] $ activator > eclipse with-source=true
because he is stuck on [1] does not continue.
