This caught me off-guard as well, and I filed an issue to fix it up: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2180
I don't think it'll be entirely straight-forward though, because some plugins still do not support ARC. What are everyone's thoughts on how to address this? One option is to have the default project template already set-up with two lib targets. One for ARC and one without ARC. Another option is to instruct users how to set the compile flag to disable arc on a per-file basis. Do we want to support ARC and non-ARC plugins in plugman?
