RE: Eclipse Ivy IDE Ant cachepath task problem

[Rob Gordon <ro...@rgordon.co.uk>]

Hi Shawn, 

Thanks for the reply. I am able to work round the issue by putting ivy-2.4.0 on the classpath in my Eclipse ant build before the default ivy-2.5.0-rc1 version.

Rob.

I've been told that this is a bug in ivy 2.5.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1580

See the IVYDE issue linked to that one for some comments where I
provided more detail:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-387

I found that if the ivy config in your project includes an explicit
dependency for an older version of the slf4j dependencies (1.7.24 or
earlier) then you can get it working.  Once the bug in ivy is fixed and
you can upgrade, you should be able to remove those explicit dependencies.

Thanks,
Shawn
