Play Framework Production on Windows

The documentation states that there is no production support for the Play Framework on Windows.

Note play is not supporting windows in production mode, therefore stage and start won’t work under windows

I was wondering why this is the case.

Also, is this due to limitations that will be overcome, or is Windows not a first-class target platform?

We have had success with using the Commons Daemon to run Play applications on Windows in production.

We use dist to package the application for distribution, then install as a Windows service using the Commons Daemon.

The stage feature uses chmod, see this line of code. As for the dist and start feature I am not quite sure. As @biesior pointed out, this ticket might provide a workaround.
