Need help to get Scala Compiler Plugin to work in Scala IDE

[monster]

I'm writing a Scala Compiler Plugin. It's currently called
scalawrapper (but I might find a better name later). I have the
Typesafe Stack installed, and I put my plugin in it under:

C:\Program Files\typesafe-stack\misc\scala-devel\plugins

Now I can call scalac like this:

scalac -classpath ... -Xplugin-require:scalawrapper test\...

and it finds and uses my plugin automatically.

Unfortunately, I just can't get the Scala-IDE to use it. I always get
"Missing required plugin: scalawrapper". In the "Project Properties
\Scala Compiler (Use Project Settings)\Advanced" tab, I have entered
scalawrapper in the Xplugin-require field, and that works, since I get
the error. But nothing I can type in Xpluginsdir seem to have any
effect.

I have tried the absolute path given above, have tried with forward
and backward slashes, have tried a temporary directory without spaces
in it, have tried relative to project directory, have tried relative
to workspace. It just will not use anything. I should also note that
is is not specific to my own plugin, as I tried to use the ScalaCL
plugin before in a previous version of the Scala-IDE, and failed for
the exact same reason.

I have just updated today (15.10.2011) and so should have the latest
version (it seems I can finally explicitly set the indentation to 4,
but maybe I just overlooked the setting in the past).

Can someone tell me what it actually expects, and what is uses as
default when I don't put anything in Xpluginsdir?

This should work. What version of the plugin are you using (also, for
what compiler version)?

Iulian, the OP asked the same question on Stack Overflow, where I answered it:
