Play 2 2 0 on Windows  Using a zip distribution  produced using the  dist  command   the only way I was able to change the startup port was by first setting JAVA OPTS and then launching the application   E g   from the command line  set JAVA OPTS -Dhttp port 9002 bin myapp bat   where myapp bat is the batch file created by the  dist  command   The following would always ignore my http port parameter and attempt to start on the default port  9000  bin myapp bat -Dhttp port 9002   However  I ve noticed that this works fine on Linux OSX  starting up on the requested port     bin myapp -Dhttp port 9002
