If this happens I will donate and admin a new MySDK.org website for the ASF FOSS user group community. I am a major fan of ANT and see IVY and Eclipse IDE bridge as critical. I will set up an email contact for me tonight at r...@mysdk.org if you to reach me in the future. Kind regards.

Hello, I was just made aware of this discussion and thought I would share a bit. We use Ant+Ivy and Eclipse+IvyDE here (Thomson Reuters) to support dozens of java projects. IvyDE has been working very well for the past many years and I have only minor issues with it form time to time. Mostly

Hi there, I used to be involved, especially in IvyDE, and as many, my build tools and my IDE changed (for the IDE I am glad, not for the build tools…). So I had no particular interest of doing any maintenance, so much that lost track of the last releases of Ivy, where I could help. Many many

I was a long-time Ant + Ivy and IvyDE. At work, we finally switched one of our products to Maven. We have at least one other product that still uses Ant + Ivy, I'm not sure what that team operates as an IDE. >From my POV, you can't effectively and sanely develop using Ivy *without* IDE support,

Please read the following in full, as I am starting my argument not at Ivy itself, but it is still the focus of this response. I think the core shortcoming of Ant is its inability to bootstrap easily in a portable manner. You cannot simply use a build file and say 'go build' as you have to

Hi all: IMO, it would be a shame to lose Ivy as a much simpler alternative to Maven. It works well and I think there is very much still room for a dependency management tool that focuses on just that and not all the other things that Maven does. I am thankful for your work on it, Stefan. I
