Play 2.6 dropping support for Activator

The original idea of Activator was to be a full featured environment for tutorials, training, and example projects across all of Lightbend’s technologies. Once you got started with Play you could of course just use SBT, but Activator provided a unified platform for getting started with Play and other reactive technologies.

Since we believe those solutions are better for the majority of Play users, we’ve decided not to support Activator at all for the coming Play 2.6 release. We’ve updated the to describe the new methods you can use to get started.
