Hi Ross,
Thanks. The plugins are I referred to are mentioned in the plugins
directory of the source code. The file mentions the plugins as follows. I
was wondering how and from where these plugins can be used.
Thanks

Forrest is run using ANT. Eclipse provides a method of running ant
scripts, however, it is outside of the scope of this list to provide
specific support for how to configure Eclipse to do that (unless
someone here uses Forrest + Eclipse in this way, I do not).
I'm not sure what you mean by "the plugins metioned to be used via
eclipse" - what plugins? Mentioned where?
The bundled ant is automatically used once you install forrest and
type a forrest command at your command line. You need do no more magic
other than follow the Forrest install instructions.
