Will playframework continue update their 1.* version or will they discontinue it and will focus on 2.*? Latest release was 2.0.4, Oct 01 2012. I am asking because if they discontinue 1.* then I have been thinking about learning Scala.

They will not. As said in many places 1.x branch is currently in maintenance mode, which means, that there will be no more features added into it. Play 2+ is current active branch.
On the other hand, you don’t need (almost) to learn Scala, you can just use the Java version of Play 2. Only part where basic Scala knowledge will be required will be configs and views, however that’s a task for just one day…
