Adding SBT task to Play project's full build configuration

How do I add a task to a Play (SBT) project that uses a full build configuration, say Build.scala, so that it is actually visible and can be used?

Apparently what I did is not enough. When I run play tasks the new task is not listed and I cannot run it.

Build.scala looks as follows:

object ApplicationBuild extends Build {

  val hello = TaskKey[Unit]("hello", "Prints 'Hello World'")

  val helloTask = hello := {
    println("Hello World")
  }  

  val appName         = "test"
  val appVersion      = "1.0-SNAPSHOT"        
  val appDependencies = Seq(
    jdbc
  )

  val main = play.Project(appName, appVersion, appDependencies).settings(       
    resolvers += "Sonatype snapshots" at "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"      
  )
}

Add the helloTask as a setting within settings method as follows:

val main = play.Project(appName, appVersion, appDependencies).settings(
  resolvers += "Sonatype snapshots" at "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/",
  helloTask
)

See Full Configuration Example for SBT 0.12.4 since you use the older approach to define tasks with TaskKey and the double assign (helloTask = hello :=). You may find the reference to Scalaz's full build configuration very useful (at the very bottom of the page).
