J.C. Hamlin created IVYDE-311:
---------------------------------
Summary: IvyDE does not allow setting of Ivy Home or honor setting
of IVY_HOME environment variable
Key: IVYDE-311
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-311
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ivysettings editor
Affects Versions: 2.2.0.beta1
Environment: MyEclipse 9.1 64-bit, JDK 1.6.0_31 64-bit, Windows 7
Enterprise SP1 64-bit
Reporter: J.C. Hamlin
Priority: Minor
IvyDE does not seem to honor the setting of the environment variable IVY_HOME,
nor does it allow you to configure where you want your Ivy Home to be. It
should work like the Ant plugin does, and allow you to configure, at a
workspace level, the location Ivy Home. This is important because for many
users, the default C:\Users\<username\.ivy2 directory is not on a fast storage
device (like an SSD), and things run *much* faster with the ivy cache running
on an SSD or RAM drive. We are currently using linkd.exe to create an NTFS
junction to the location where we want Ivy Home. This however, is also somewhat
of a performance hit as going through an NTFS junction causes some overhead. We
can tell, because with a command-line build with IVY_HOME set to an SSD, it
completes 30 seconds faster than with the IVY_HOME unset buy going through the
NTFS junction point (9:30 vs. 10:30).
