synchronizing ivy files and eclipse .classpath with eclim
Submitted by xavier on Tue, 2005-11-01 07:44.Found on the eclim web site:
The primary goal of eclim is to bring eclipse functionality to the vim editor.
Eclim provides a couple different ways to keep your eclipse .classpath up to date.
The second method of keeping your eclipse .classpath file up to date, is to utilize eclim's plugins for a couple commonly used build tools.
The first such tool that eclim supports is ivy.
Just like the direct .classpath editing that eclim supports, when editing an ivy.xml file from vim, eclim adds an auto command to update eclipse's classpath when you save the ivy.xml. Any entries found in the ivy.xml that are not in the .classpath will be added, and any entries that differ in version will be updated.
Integrating Ivy with AntAnt to manage jar files
Submitted by xavier on Tue, 2005-10-04 19:39.Extract from Bill de hora blog:
So I just integrated with Ivy this afternoon, from following the documentation and how the WebWork2 code base uses it. AntAnt now gives you an ivy.xml and ivyconf.xml to set up and automatically treats any global lib area as a file based repository for Ivy. It seems to work ok and will cut out some duplication. Conclusion: Ivy is a great tool and I should have done this a year ago.

WebWork + Ivy = Awesome
Submitted by xavier on Mon, 2005-09-26 07:13.An extract of webwork blog:
As WebWork 2.2 wraps up, the only remaining task is documentation. One of the documentation efforts I've always hated is explaining the dependencies. Now that WebWork uses Ivy, we no longer have to do this. Instead, in the distribution, the depdencies are clearly graphed out. If you're not using Ivy or Maven2, you probably should take a look. I was a skeptic at first, but it really does make life easier.
