    Yes, there is a module available for groovy:

    I’ve found the Scala templates not too bad to work with after a week of playing with them–especially if you’re using Scala on the controller part. You might consider sticking it out for the learning curve.

    Adding for the comments:

    object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

...

    val appDependencies = Seq(
      "eu.delving" %% "groovy-templates-plugin" % "1.1"
    )

    val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = SCALA).settings(
      resolvers += "Delving Snapshot Repository" at "http://development.delving.org:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots",
      resolvers += "Delving Releases Repository" at "http://development.delving.org:8081/nexus/content/groups/public"
    )

}

    Worked for me.
