How to put a JAR file in a Play 2 project and use

Question

In Play 1, we can put some JAR files into the /lib directory. But there is no such a directory, and I don't find any information to do this.

Play 2 uses repositories, but sometimes I just want a quick and dirty way to use a JAR file. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Since Play 2 applications are built using sbt, you can just follow their convention for unmanaged dependencies: put your JAR file in the lib/ directory.
