Re: Using 2.8 with Eclipse Plugin

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.

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.
