Question

I\'m new to Play framework. Please explain the meaning of the below warning.

Warning: node.js detection failed, sbt will use the Rhino based Trireme J

Answer 1

sbt plugins requiring a JS engine are used only in the build process, and so missing Node.js only slows down assets building stages if you use any.

The built application is not affected.

Anyway, you may want to install node.js to your PATH, where it should be auto-detected.
