Michael, You should open a defect for this. I'd be willing to help work on a patch to implement this.

I am currently working on a generic continuous integration build system using Ant, Ivy and Hudson. IMHO the SCM should not contain any binary libraries. They should com from ivy via the ivy.xml. I know that almost everybody here on the list will agree on this. Further I would say IDE specific configurations should not be in the SCM either. Maven has the Eclipse-Plugin [1] to configure projects ready to use in Eclipse. I think there should be an Ivy equivalent tool to handle this for ivy projects. IvyDE handles a classpath container for Eclipse. But there is no generation of the .project file for Eclipse. There should be an Ant Task for the generation of .project, .settings/*. Ant-Eclipse [2] is a good start for this. Currently it can create the .classpath, the .project (for standard Java and AspectJ applications) and some simple .settings (see [3]). But the project's last update was 2 years ago and there is no generation of configuration files for WTP/WST. What do you think about such a project? Maybe we could reanimate Ant-Eclipse. BTW: I think it can be helpful to give ivy even more boost :) Michael [1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/ [2] http://ant-eclipse.sourceforge.net/ [3] http://ant-eclipse.sourceforge.net/ant-eclipse.html Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH, Ehinger Str. 200, D-47259 Duisburg Geschäftsführung: Dr. Herbert Eichelkraut, Peter Gasse, Dr. Clemens Stewing Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Dr. Karl-Ulrich Köhler Sitz der Gesellschaft: Duisburg Eintragung im Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Duisburg HRB 4716 http://www.hkm.de
