How do I disable front-end assets compilation in Play 2.5?

I'm using Play Framework 2.5.1 to create an app, and I want to use Gulp instead of SBT for compiling and minifying front-end stuff. Is there a way for me to disable the automatic recompilation on activator ~run, so I can still keep JS and Less under app\assets, but instead use Gulp for building the front-end?

My configuration:

disablePlugins(PlayLayoutPlugin).settings(
       ....    
         watchSources := (watchSources.value
           --- baseDirectory.value / "app" ** "*"
           --- baseDirectory.value / "public" ** "*").get,
         cleanFiles <+= baseDirectory { base => base / "src" / "main" / "public" }
       )

  • remove app/public from watch

  • clean public directory
