Title: implemented embedded editor for compilation exceptions

I have implemented an inline browser editor which is shown on compilation exceptions to fix bugs. It really helps to save time if one missed to set a bracket or an equals sign. Just edit the file when the compilation exception is shown (the cursor is already on the right line) and hit reload.

It is using the same code editor implemented in js which github uses (ace editor).

I would be glad to hear your opinion. This may not be the best way to implement this feature (I needed to change the stuff how play handles the @documentation requests to be able to handle a POST request to @editor), but if there are suggestions how to improve them I would be glad to handle them. I hope this feature will make into the master branch, in my opinion its a standalone web-framework feature.
