Build an HTML select option list in Play

I want to do something similar in Play and Java:

<select id="birthyear" name="birthyear">
<option value="2007">2007</option>
<option value="2006">2006</option>
<option value="2005">2005</option>
<option value="2004">2004</option>
<option value="2003">2003</option>
<option value="2002">2002</option>
<option value="2001">2001</option>
<option value="2000">2000</option>
<option value="1999">1999</option>
<option value="1998">1998</option>
<option value="1997">1997</option>
<option value="1996">1996</option>
</select>

However I want to be able to give it a start year and an end year and build the select list dynamically.

I ame across this but in Scala and Play, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this in Java/Play?

UPDATE: Read the documentation as provided in the answer and also checked the sample projects that came installed with Play and used the following

<div>
     Select birth year of  
     #{select 'yob', items:2012..1900, value:5, id:'select3' /}
   </div>

Did you try this ?

<select id="birthyear" name="birthyear">
#{list 2007..1996}
