IvyDE and ivysettings.xml files
Forgive me if this is the wrong list for these questions.
I was wondering if there is some reason that the Eclipse plugin (IvyDE)
will not look for an ivysettings.xml file on a per-project basis, and
then why the path the plugin is looking for for the ivysettings.xml file
is not project-rooted?
On that last point, at work we have project-specific ivysettings.xml
files, and because the plugin looks for that file on a file-system basis
rather than a project basis, it makes using the plugin with our projects
impossible, since if we share the Eclipse settings files, the path for
the locations of the ivysettings.xml file may differ per developer machine.

Very good ideas! I like 'em!

yep, I thought of new scheme, project:, which also should allow to point to
other project.
projet://mymasterproject/ivysettings.xml
projet:///ivysettings.xml => point to "current" project
I think that would be cool if we can also make the UI support that,
special "browse by project button" and so on.
I should probably put it into a Jira issue!

I use project specific settings every day, and it works like a charm. The
syntax is awkward (file://./ivysettings.xml as URL), but you don't see this
too often. Easing this configuration would be a nice improvement though.

There is some usecase where you have a lot of different projects, but one
configuration. Then you want to specify absolute path.

First, which version of IvyDE are you using ?
Then the feature you are talking about should work since the version 1.1.0.
(IVYDE-25). If it doesn't please open a Jira issue.
cheers,
