Hi Eugene, the patch you sent to me matches the patch I've got from Xavier.
I don't see it as a problem that you have to change the resolve chain in the ivyconf file. I think it's a good idea to have a switch for turning this feature on or off. Developer who like the old behaviour wouldn't need to change anything. Maybe the ivyconf.xml is not the best place for that but I think it's no problem to add the lines for the typedef and the eclipse resolver in the ivyconf.
