I want to deploy and run my Play! Framework app on EC2.
I have installed the Play! Framework on one instance, now I don’t want to copy my source code over but instead I want to “build” my app into libraries/jar/wars and copy the binary over and have play run against the binaries. Does Play! support that?

Plus, you could always try using wars and rune those across multiple tomcats, but it would be a waste of ressources as native play server is better.
