I am currently using the geowebcache plugin with geoserver, and I would like
to start seeding the cache.
I am using geoserver 1.7 RC1, which comes with the geowebcache 1.0 snapshot
jar. I found what I believe are the relevant seeding instructions at http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/Version1.0a0.
Can I do seeding using the plugin, or would I need to install geowebcache as
a separate webapp?
Unfortunately I started my day late today and my internet connection has been misbehaving, so I haven't had a chance to build and verify the steps. Tentative answers below, I'll get back to you tomorrow or over the weekend with details.

Good job

You should be able to use it as a plugin. The main limitation of the plugin is that you can't easily override the default configuration, so only EPSG:4326 and EPSG:900913.
Note that RC1 contained something close to alpha0, RC2 (out tomorrow?) will have a plugin that corresponds to alpha1. This is important because the XML format (used for seed requests) has changed slightly (zoomstart -> zoomStart etc).
I downloaded GeoServer 1.7.0 RC2, but that isn't working for me either.
The first problem I see when I try that url is a dialog that says the
website does not require authentication. If it did, and I was foolish enough
to leave the default login info, would admin:geoserver be the right login
for seeding?
The second issue I'm encountering is a 404 response with the text "Unknow
path: rest" in the body. Here is the header detail:
I've fixed the issue you probably ran into, please download RC2a from the extension page on SourceForge.
Logging is configured in the data directory, so if it's an existing one you'll have to
- Edit <your data directory>/logs/DEFAULT_LOGGING.properties (or whatever you are using)
- Add log4j.category.org.geowebcache=INFO at the bottom of this file and restart GeoServer
The catch is that seeding won't be protected until the final release. If you're running GeoServer through Apache or another server you can move this out one level, shouldn't matter too much either way.
