I am new to play framework. I have downloaded the latest version (2.1.1) I am trying to follow the steps from the video tutorial http://www.playframework.com/ but when I make any changes to the code, save it and then refresh localhost:9000 - it still shows the old page. I also tried: "play clean", "play compile" and still no result. Any suggestions? I am using javac 1.7.0._21 and making the changes through eclipse.

Have you see on the Play SBT Console message like this : Compiling xx Scala sources to yourprojectpath\target\scala-2.10\classes... When you use play run command you should see the changes of your page. - Wayan Wiprayoga
Hava you solved that problem? I'm having the same problem too. - endrigoantonini

Try using ~ run, instead i.e

[My first application] $ ~ run

This should recompile the code every time you make a change. The following page contains more information: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.1.1/PlayConsole

I use intelij as my editor, and before doing editing and refreshing, I start up the app with this command : 

play debug run

You should see something like this starting up...

In your build.sbt, change this line:

fork in run := true

to

fork in run := false
