Play framework offline distribution downloads repositories

I downloaded the offline distribution - version 2.3.2 - of Play Framework, where I see it includes a repository with a bunch of libraries. When, though, I create a new project, it starts downloading all these libraries again.

What's the point in doing that?

Is there a way I can define the repository I already have - the one I downloaded with the offline distro?

Or, at least, can I define a different directory when it starts downloading all these libraries? I don't want them in C: drive.

Play 2.3 uses default ivy cache directory (What’s new in Play 2.3) which points to ${user.home}/.ivy2. Path is defined inside activator-launch-X.X.X.jar in file sbt/sbt.boot.properties.

To change the path you need to extract file from jar using:

jar -xvf activator-launch-X.X.X.jar sbt.boot.properties

Edit extracted file sbt.boot.properties and replace ${user.home}/.ivy2:

[ivy]
  ivy-home: ${user.home}/.ivy2

Replace old file in jar with new one using:

jar -uvf activator-launch-X.X.X.jar sbt.boot.properties
