Jon Schneider commented on IVYDE-208:
-------------------------------------
Ivica,
Thanks for the feedback.
- I developed this on 3.4 and have been using it in RAD 7.5.3. You do need to
install Zest separately on most 3.4 installations I believe.
- I changed the text of the classpath containers in the dialog box per your
suggestion.
- I moved the call to org.eclipse.ui.ISharedImages, thinking that maybe somehow
the view class was getting loaded before a workbench was available from
PlatformUI? Honestly, I'm not the most experienced Eclipse plugin developer.
Please let me know if that works for you. I see the images here without
trouble on Eclipse 3.4, 3.5, and RAD 7.5.3.

> I am kind of excited about this one. I would like to be able to see the
> resolve report depicted graphically, showing me clearly how particular
> dependencies wound up on the classpath, what nodes got evicted, what
> dependencies a particular transitive dependency has, etc etc. Ivy can
> sometimes fall into the category of "automagically" doing so much for us on
> the classpath, that developers can take it for granted. Especially when a
> version conflict arises out of a resolution (by which two different revisions
> are resolved that aren't under the same eviction context), I see developers
> getting very confused. I hope this visualization will help them understand.
