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.
