[scala-tools] Using 2.8 with Eclipse Plugin

[sanity]

So I want to work on a project that relies on a planned feature for
2.8, specifically the continuations support.  Is it possible for me to
work on this from within the Scala Eclipse Plugin?  If it is possible,
I'd appreciate some instructions for setting this up, as I'm rather
unfamiliar with the plugin's internals.

Thanks,

Ian.

I'd recommend against trunk for a couple of weeks. Fortunately the
continuations scalac plugin builds against 2.7.4.final and I believe
can be used from the 2.7.4.final release of the Scala IDE ...
according to Ingo you just need to specify Xpluginsdir in the in your
project-specific Scala compiler settings.

Cheers,


Miles

Its taken me a while, but I'm finally trying to follow this advice.
Unfortunately, I can't find the plugin.  I downloaded the latest 2.8
snapshot (scala-2.8.0.r18001-b20090607020209.zip) from
http://www.scala-lang.org/node/212/distributions but can't find any
plugins in there.

Where can I find the continuations plugin?

Thanks,

Ian.
