Description

We have recently removed the out-of-the-box support for the continuations plug-in from the next Scala IDE 4.0 release (https://github.com/scala-ide/scala-ide/pull/617)

I believe this may affect sbt-eclipse, as I pointed out here https://github.com/scala-ide/scala-ide/pull/617#issuecomment-31738344. In theory, the fix should be as simple as removing this hack, but I haven't spent enough time looking at it, hence I may be missing some other place that would need to be updated.

Research direction

Start with sbteclipse-core/src/main/scala/com/typesafe/sbteclipse/core/EclipseSDTConfig.scala and the linked Scala IDE pull request 617 to understand the continuations plug-in change. Search sbteclipse for other continuations-related handling before deciding whether the referenced hack is the only affected code. Done when sbt-eclipse supports the Scala IDE 4.0.0 setup without obsolete continuations handling and the relevant checks pass.
