This is not a play application!

Use `play new` to create a new Play application in the current directory, 
or go to an existing application and launch the development console using `play`.

You can also browse the complete documentation at http://www.playframework.org.

Create a new Play! app...

Then make a new directory for a new app, then initialize a new play app

Modify project/plugins.sbt to include the war generating plugin...

// Comment to get more information during initialization
logLevel := Level.Warn

// The Typesafe repository
resolvers ++= Seq(
  "Typesafe repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/",
  "Play2war plugins release" at "http://repository-play-war.forge.cloudbees.com/release/"
)

// Use the Play sbt plugin for Play projects
addSbtPlugin("play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.0.2")

addSbtPlugin("com.github.play2war" % "play2-war-plugin" % "0.6")

And the project/Build.scala file as well...

import sbt._
import Keys._
import PlayProject._

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

    val appName         = "new-play"
    val appVersion      = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"

    val appDependencies = Seq(
      // Add your project dependencies here,
      "com.github.play2war" %% "play2-war-core" % "0.6"
    )

    val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = JAVA).settings(
      // Add your own project settings here
      resolvers += "Play2war plugins release" at "http://repository-play-war.forge.cloudbees.com/release/"
    )

}

Then executing play war will create a new war file in target/.
