Hm, sorry it's not working for you Alex. I must admit, I went thought a little pain and suffering to get it to work myself (until I caught on that the name of the artifact must be the same for the source and the library. Another thing I found is that it is important to clean out your cache if you are changing your repository ivy.xml file, and sometimes I found I had to restart eclipse otherwise it became confused (or more likely I was confused :-)
In addition, I haven't actually tried the ext="src.jar", but someone else claimed that worked. The reason I like the "src.jar" idea for an extension is that I don't really like the fact that I have two jars with the same name (one with source in in and another with classes in it). Having a mylib.jar(which contains the class files) and a mylib.src.jar (which obviously contains the java files) seems a lot more obvious. Keep playing around with it. It really does work.

HI, John, I actually tried this before I posted. I'm am intrigued that you claim it works as It doesn't completely for me. I have had: <artifact name="library" type="jar" ext="jar" /> <artifact name="library" type="source" ext="src.jar" /> As you state but when I click on the source it says source not attached. When I go to the properties for the jar I have included the source to I get a Location path for the source attachment which is 'cache/org/library/sources/library.jar' OFC if I change this to 'cache/org/library/sources/library.src.jar' I can see the source perfectly. This is not acceptable for our enviroment as we have projects with tens of different jars and developers are not going to be happy or at there most productive if they have to do this for every jar. (imagine debugging :( ). If this happened perfectly for you I would like to know what version of IvyED / eclipse you used and the steps that you took so I can find out what I did wrong. It is copying the source/jars over correctly but not pointing to them in eclipse. One of the nice things abuot ivy is the seperation of ivy meta data from the actual data. It's therefore a shame that ivy/ivyde doesn't seem to recognize that source and jars can be in differnet locations. I think this would solve the problems but am not sure if it would need to be fixed in ivyDE. If url="" was used first to search for the artifact you could have: <artifact name="library" type="jar" ext="jar" /> <artifact name="library" type="source" ext="src.jar" url="/../../<org>/library/library.src.jar" /> And we would grab this first and presumably be used by ivyDe correctly. Is the src.jar not being added just a small bug in ivyDE using [.jar] by default instead of [ext] at the end? I am really grateful for your replies and help. We are highly interested in this but this is the major blocker atm so any resolution is great. We really need the ability to automatically attach the source with no developer input needed. I also saw the post about adding source similar to maven2 by having a postfix. Maybe this would resolve the problem in a better way?
