Code in jar dependency is packed as java code and can not be used as normal Scala dependency

Scala or Go: Who Wore It Better?
In this example, the code uses Play WS Standalone as a REST client to fetch JSON containing a UUID. Play WS has an asynchronous, non-blocking API based on Future, so you need to provide an ExecutionContext via Akka. That's all the boilerplate at the beginning of this example. Sometimes it will be done for you as when you use Play WS in the context of Play Framework. Nonetheless, you should be aware it has to happen somewhere.
