I am using Play 2.4.3.
Added addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-rjs" % "1.0.7")
to plugins.sbt
// rjs = RequireJS, uglifies, shrinks to one file, replaces WebJars with CDN
client accepts them
pipelineStages := Seq(rjs, digest, gzip)
This in my build.sbt does all the shrinking work etc. to bower JS, and webjars.
