Yes, sometime, but not likely in the very near future ...

You do have SOME leeway if you want to, say, lock down on the 2.8 beta while continuing to track the plugin from trunk.
just delete the plugin-supplied classpath container and add the necessary libraries manually. (I found this helped me when wanting the scala-compiler library available)This is only advised with extreme caution though, as it can sometimes cause problems if the plugin and libs get too far out of sync.

If you want to use the 2.7 library with the 2.8 plugin, you're totally out of luck
