Yes, EclipseFP is alive, and I'm the maintainer. Yes, there are sometimes
issues with installing scion due to the numerous dependencies. No, don't
give up!!

You don't need to build scion yourself, usually. The Java plugins include
the scion sources and build it internally, setting the proper Cabal flags.
If you want to build scion yourself, you need to specify that you use Cabal
1.8: cabal install -fcabal_1_8 should do the trick.

There are also forums on sourceforge that I keep an eye on so you can post
questions there too!

Hope it helps!
