Cannot install version 2.3.0

[krumpi]

Hi

It seems play 2.3.0 cannot be installed with pvm. I get this error
pvm install 2.3.0

################################################################## 100.0%

Archive: src/play-2.3.0.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

src/play-2.3.0.zip.zip, and cannot find src/play-2.3.0.zip.ZIP, period.
pvm: install 2.3.0 failed!

Any hints+

Starting with Play-2.3.0 Typesafe is changing the setup in quite an extensive way, and according to a few minutes of browsing don't really allow download of just play the same way as before. Now the download package is bundled inside the typesafe-activator package, which also includes some other stuff, including akka and scala. Actually even the shell command has changed from 'play' to 'activator', so there are some differences there as well.

Anyway, the latest version of the typesafe-activator package (1.2.2) does come as a single bundle download, including a lot of other stuff as well, so it would be possible to modify the script to support this new installation method as well. This, however, requires a bit more than just a new download URL in the script, so it might take slightly longer to fix as well, and might even warrant for a separate tool (tvm = typesafe version manager :)). I will have to take a look, but please feel free to contribute and/or come with ideas about this.
