title: What's the difference between using play start and play run?
body: <p>I am using play framework 2.0.4,</p>
  
  <p>I noticed that   in the project folder, if I used <code>play start</code>, the server responses faster than server started via <code>play run</code>. However, user can not access static resources under <code>public</code> folder in the server started using  <code>start</code> command, so I am wondering what's the <code>start</code> default configuration that changing the root directory or do I need to change routes which originally defined as: </p>
  
  <pre><code># Map static resources from the /public folder to the /assets URL path
  GET     /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
  HEAD    /assets/*file               controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
  </code></pre>
