I haven't voted in that mail about retiring IvyDE because I don't know
what a -1 (which is what I would have voted) would do in reality. As
noted in that other voting thread, the last release was in 2013 and last
real code was in 2014. So on one hand I want that project to stay (and
hope to be actively developed) and on the other I don't think that's
going to be happen even if it isn't retired.
Overall, IMO, if Ivy project itself needs to be used in serious
projects, there needs to be an active community and usable ecosystem
around it, headed by developers who are able to invest time and interest
in it.

IMHO, IvyDE works
well with Eclipse;
perhaps its release cycle needs to be synced with Ivy release cycle (which
is roughly biannual a this point).
Is there a release plan for Ivy, by the way? When will this
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1444> fix be released?

We see Ivy as a widely used component. We use archiving some components to
recalibrate our focus.
I don't think that we want to archive Ivy in the near future. Instead we
try to push Ivy.
If you want to help with Ivy, you're welcome.

What are the problems you think are resolved with new Ivy releases?

Betreff: Ivy - any future or is it also going to be retired?
I have been following the latest emails on retiring sub projects in
Ant.
I just see a proposal to retire IvyDE (the Eclipse plugin) for valid
reasons (given the lack of any real activity in there). Given this, I
would like to understand what the future of Ivy project itself is. I
have asked this more than once previously in the dev mailing list
during the past year or so and any efforts in reviving the project,
which IMO has seen no real activity. I have even tried contacting some
of the dev team members to try and see if I can help in any way to keep
it active.
But unfortunately, that hasn't generated any kind of changes. There's
been no real code changes, bug fixes or any consistent
help/communication when it comes to user issues.
I would like to see some official word on what the future is for Ivy
itself. Is it going to be retired too? Seeing that IvyDE itself is
being proposed for retirement and the only other IDE plugin is a
IntelliJ one (that I know of), asking (some of our internal users) to
continue using Ivy is going to be challenge. It's already a challenge
to stick with Ivy build system itself given the lack of
fixes/releases/responses. If there's an official word on where it
stands in terms of projects goals, we can officially move to a
different build system.
