I'm in the process of releasing IvyDE. Given that it hasn't been
released in a while, it might take a few days for me to get this
released and made available for voting. I'll send out a note once that's
ready.

Well, my plan was to stay with the last version of Eclipse that works with
IvyDE, If it stops working, I'll wait a couple years (I'm a lazy
bastard), and then update IvyDE myself -- if need be. If that were to
prove impossible (very unlikely), I'd move to gradle (or what not) --
anything but maven (which I loath). Ant has a couple shortcomings, but
I'm comfortable with it, and am able to accomplish feats the mere
contemplation of which would make a mavenite cry for his mommy.
Even if a real release is not needed, IvyDE should probably do a "bump"
release every two years -- just to let the world know the project isn't
pushing up daisies.

I don't think there is a newer version available, and I think the last
release was about the same time as the previous work on Ivy was being
done. Hopefully, IvyDE will keep up the work in Ivy, as without IDE
integration it's hard to see Ivy surviving. As far as I know, however,
IvyDE 2.2.0 continues to work in the latest eclipse.
Indeed, IvyDE does seem to be working well. Says good things about both
IvyDE and the APIs in Eclipse, when something that's so old continues to
work.
But it does make me nervous to see no releases in nearly five years.
Found the project page for IvyDE, and it says this is the right mailing
list.
In my travels to learn whether it's a dead project or not, I see an
issue for exactly the problem I was experiencing which got me started
down this rabbit hole:
https://milton-web.wnyric.org/canit/urlproxy.php?_q=aHR0cHM6Ly9pc3N1ZXMuYXBhY2hlLm9yZy9qaXJhL2Jyb3dzZS9JVllERS0zODc%3D&_s=ZXJpZTE%3D&_c=d9250d65
The SVN trunk for ivyde shows a last commit date four years ago, but the
github repository shows a commit TODAY.

Which prompts the question: Is IvyDE dead?
Thanks,
Shawn
