When i activate the plugin and try to open a discussion, this message appear in my CGI and Scripts Page Errors:
20140328T072345: forum.kemat1an.it/index.php PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_USE, expecting T_FUNCTION in /hermes/bosoraweb143/b2025/ipg.kemat1anit/community/plugins/oembed/library/vendors/fg/essence/lib/Essence/Essence.php on line 30
Any suggestion?
I didn't change any file, it is just copied and pasted from github source to my hosting.

This addon is for 2.2+ which is alpha software. Are you running 2.2?

Version 2.2.10.3
According to this document: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php
That file uses an unsupported use of the

Those are called "Traits" (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php) and were introduced in PHP 5.4. Am I correct in assuming that you're running 5.3?

Traits are pretty cool, but they should have a different keyword or something. Especially considering they are re-using a keyword that isn't allowed there. I suppose it is nice in the fact that it errors out on systems that don't support it, but adding a keyword would do the same thing, right?

@Kasper, You're right, I'm on 5.3.
There is something that I can do in order to let this plugin work with PHP 5.3?
You would need to hack the Essence library and initialize all the traits as object properties in the class constructors. Unless you're keen on making it work with PHP 5.3 I wouldn't recommend it though—it seems like a bit of a rabbit hole.

Wow, that's a huge work!
