Hmm ... that's annoying ... another 1.6-ism masked by an implicit.

Try again with tomorrow's build.

Cheers,

The latest build of the plug(2.8.0.r19664-b20091116035131)
has solved my issue, thanks very much!

A few oddities to note for others,
after updating the plugin,
existing open editors may fail.
Close all scala editors, clean and rebuild your project.
This solved strange errors for me.

Nice surprise compared to 2.7.7 stable,
I no longer have to save the editor to get dependencies/references resolved,
happens automatically.

New issue:
Previously in the 2.7.7 stable, "Organize Imports" would wipe out
any scala imports.
Wanted to test this out in the new version, but received the
following error...

If you prefer, I can start a new thread.

Thanks for your hard work,

Right, this functionality is waiting on Mirko Stockers refactoring
work. For now I'll just disable the action ... could you create a Trac
ticket for this?

Cheers,
