Christopher Hunt - a typesafe developer working on Play - has come up with a equivalent of the "AngularJS seed project" for Play - the seed project serves as a starting point for AngularJS apps that use Play on the server side.
This also introduces the "webjars " tool - where the javascript files are distributed in zip/jar file format from maven-style repositories, as a dependency of the project.
This is of course available as a clickstart so you can get started immediately if you like (it will clone and set up a build and deploy the app for you).
