One of the main reasons the Play! framework didn't get a lot of traction, IMHO, was the lack of a proper build tool (Continuous Integration anyone?). The plan to use SBT as a build tool is a welcome news. Same goes for the Akka integration.

There's a continuous integration server called calimoucho (https://github.com/guillaumebort/calimoucho) written by the author of the Play framework. I don't have any experience with it though.

You can do CI with play projects, it just feels wrong if you look at it from a Java perspective as there are no build files like .war files.

You can do it by triggering source code repo updates and then play restarts...
