The built 0.1 version works with forrest 0.7 so no need to rebuil it.

Now let me think about what we need to do to make this work. More to follow...

OK, I think I have it, but I am going from memory, I do not have time to cross check with the code. So my assumptions will need to be tested by someone using 0.7 *and* someone using 0.8:

When I rewrote the plugin download mechanism for 0.8 I made both the unversioned and the versioned plugins be downloaded from a subdirectory identified by the Forrest version number, i.e.

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/
http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.8/

However, in 0.7 the unversioned plugins came from the root of the plugin download dir:

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins

So, if we replace the plugin zips in the root directory with versions compatible with 0.7 everything will be fine. in other words, copy

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/0.7/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo.zip

to

http://forrest.apache.org/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.projectInfo.zip

Any chance you could do this and test it out?
