Update to Akka 2.3.4 and add persistence

I noticed the scala 'activator-akka-distributed-workers' had been updated to 2.3.4 and included persistence, the java one hadn't and that was the one I was most interested in, as I knew no scala.

So I've had a stab at converting the java one to 2.3.4 with persistence, with the aim of learning akka and perhaps scala.
Although as it turns out I've think I've learnt more scala than Akka.

When running the code produces identical output to the Scala one, but the Tutorial section itself I haven't touched as I think thats probably best left to you guys.

I liked the `Behavior` here actually, is there a good reason to remove it?
