3) Create build properties file project/build.properties
4) Run sbt command from project root to generate project directories, generated projects at target/lagom-dynamic-projects
   Service Locator project: lagom-internal-meta-project-service-locator
   cassandra project: lagom-internal-meta-project-cassandra	
5) Create folders in all projects to follow maven like directory structure layout for project source code: src/main/java and src/main/java/resources and test folders.
6) Weather microservice
	a) WeatherService Interface with method:
