    - #### platform

          void platform(Object platformRequirements)

      Specifies a `PlayPlatform` with a given set of requirements that this component should be built be for. Can accept a map of play, scala and/or java requirements or a string representation of the desired play platform.

               model {
                    components {
                        play {
                            platform 'play-2.3.9'
                            platform play: '2.3.2'
                            platform play: '2.3.6', scala: '2.10'
                            platform play: '2.3.7', scala: '2.11', java: '1.8'
                        }
                    }
                }

      Parameters:
        `platformRequirements` - Map of Play requirements or the name of an Play platform.

    - #### setInjectedRoutesGenerator

          void setInjectedRoutesGenerator(boolean injectedRoutesGenerator)

      Configures the style of router to use with this application.

      By default, a static routes generator is used to generate a singleton router. This requires that all the actions that the router invokes on the application's controllers are either Scala singleton objects, or Java static methods.

      In Play 2.4+, a injected routes generator is recommended. This requires that the router declares its dependencies to the application's controllers in its constructor. The controllers methods need to be instance methods.

      Parameters:
        `injectedRoutesGenerator` - false if a static router should be generated (default). true if an injected router should be generated.

    - #### getInjectedRoutesGenerator

          boolean getInjectedRoutesGenerator()

      Will an injected router be generated for this application?
      Returns:
        false if a static router will be generated for the application, true if an injected router will be generated.
