ivy-user, The handling of artifacts to populate the java.libary.path has cropped up a couple of times on the mailgroup and there is an outstanding JIRA relating to this [IVY-600].
I'm finding that more people are being hit by this, in particular in Eclipse through IvyDE. I've come up with a solution that I feel will work well for both Ivy and IvyDE: http://www.cooljeff.co.uk/2009/08/01/handling-native-dependencies-with-apache-ivy/ As described in the blog entry, I'd like to propose a mixture of using types as well as a new attribute on the artifact named platform. I'd like to put a proof of concept together and hence would be grateful for any feedback on my proposal and evaluation of existing solutions. Regards, Jeff
