Did this document happen? The question is not meant to be pushy, it's 
just that I'm still trying to catch up after moving house and I would 
have easily missed it.

I didn't get any useful results by creating a project based on trunk, 
regardless of the workspace location. I'm trying to achieve a useful 
setup for Forrest plugin development that makes use of Ivy. With all of 
trunk as one project, it seemed that my whiteboard plugin's Ivy details 
are lost. Yesterday I had it set up so that the plugin in question was a 
standalone project, and Ivy worked this way. I've made some changes 
today and I can't recreate the working configuration from yesterday.

Does anyone else use Eclipse specifically for Forrest plugins?

Sorry, my focus has changed considerably since making a couple of
promises here. I still have this on my todo list, but it's not right
at the top right now (although it is rising again).

With respect to Ivy + Eclipse specifically you need IvyDE, see the Ivy site.

Hi Brian, I have some notes I wrote down gleaned from what Ross has
explained on list. However I never got it working successfully, the
main problem being I guess is that I am a noob where Eclipse is
concerned and don't really know how to use it. I spent a fair amount
of time trying to get it to work without success and was not getting
much work done, so have delayed trying to get it to work for a while
so I can move forward a bit.

I will try again at some point but wont be for a while.
