Re: will the Scala continuations plugin definitely be supported in 2.8?

Many thanks, I can confirm that it now builds against the latest snapshot :-)
On a related question, is it currently possible to use the continuations plugin in conjunction with the Eclipse Plugin (I'm assuming it would need to be the 2.8 plugin)?  If so, could you explain how?
Much appreciated,
Ian.

Continuations will definitely be supported in the future. Wether the plugin will be part of the initial 2.8 beta release depends on when that release will happen, since for the next few weeks, a denial-of-service attack from the EPFL doctoral school prevents me from doing any useful work. In any event, the plan stands to roll out continuation support in 2.8.0 final or one of the early 2.8.x releases. Once there is an official release, we'll make sure it is stable and maintained.

I notice that this plugin no-longer compiles against trunk.  I'm about to
start an (experimental) project and had been planning on using this plugin
as a key part of it (on the assumption that, in the future, it will be part
of 2.8 and therefore stable and maintained).  Is this wise?
Ian.

It works as usual. You just need to specify a plugin folder in the
project properties dialog.
