It's not intentional that it breaks Lift, however it is intentional
that the IDE is shipping with a very slightly later revision of the
core toolchain ... unfortunately there were a couple of last minute
showstoppers for the IDE with the earlier revision.

Bear in mind that whilst this release is a beta of the compiler and
libraries, it's merely a *preview* of the IDE ... I still strongly
encourage people to follow trunk if they're working with Eclipse.

FWIW, I strongly suspect that the current nightly will build Lift successfully.

Yep, no problem, I will continue to use nightly with Scala Snapshot and
home compiled Lift.

Thanks for the answer,
