Cannot modify my index.scala.html file and cannot connect to localhost:9000 in Play framework

Question

I am new to play framework and have managed to make the activator work on the cmd of Windows. Now that I created my project in Eclipse, I can't modify my index.scala.html file as shown in a tutorial I am following. Any feedback or suggestion on how to manipulate those files will be appreciated, thanks!

Note: Does it has something to do with the fact that the page localhost:9000 does not open up for me?

The link to the tutorial might help and the step where you're stuck maybe too. — isaias-b

did you created the application using the play console? have you tried following the steps found on the Getting Started Section right hand side — isaias-b

Yes, I got to the create new application part. My app is created. If it helps, I started the activator UI command and it told me that it failed in downloading org.scala-lang#scala-compiler;2.10.2!scala-compiler.jar — Chiquelo

Eclipse may be missing the association between the html file type and the text editor.

Go to Preferences -> General -> Content Types
Select Text
Click Add
Then add *.html and *htm to the File Associations.
Click Ok

Now when double clicking on an html file in the Package Explorer, it should open an edit view.

On windows, and on any other system, your hosts file can be broken. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)

Using 127.0.0.1:9000 will work the same on any system. While 0.0.0.0:9000, 0:9000 may work only on more advanced browsers.
