Can Play Framework be used for testing java maven projects

I work on a project based on maven, with multiple sub maven projects at more than one level depths, in java. Each pom/sub-pom has its own java and tests sources.

By the other hand, I'm used to scala development on Play Framework, with its awesome ~test option for continuous testing.

Is it possible to use Play Framework continuous testing for executing tests of a java maven-based project ? Or is there another tool for doing that ?

Basically, what I want to do, is TDD development on the java/maven project, using a functionality which tests in continuous, when I modifiy my files (I use IntelliJ with its autosave files), just like Play and ~test allows me to do so in play projects.

Thanks!
