Michael,

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

Subject: Ivy-Boost with Eclipse project generation

Hi Ivy-users,

this is not directly Ivy related...

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
