Nicolas Lalevée commented on IVYDE-311:
---------------------------------------

I have added a configuration parameter called 'Ivy user dir', configurable at the workspace level or project by project.

> IvyDE does not seem to honor the setting of the environment variable IVY_HOME, nor does it allow you to configure where you want your Ivy Home to be. It should work like the Ant plugin does, and allow you to configure, at a workspace level, the location Ivy Home.
> This is important because for many users, the default C:\Users\<username\.ivy2 directory is not on a fast storage device (like an SSD), and things run *much* faster with the ivy cache running on an SSD or RAM drive. We are currently using linkd.exe to create an NTFS junction to the location where we want Ivy Home.
> This however, is also somewhat of a performance hit as going through an NTFS junction causes some overhead. We can tell, because with a command-line build with IVY_HOME set to an SSD, it completes 30 seconds faster than with the IVY_HOME unset buy going through the NTFS junction point (9:30 vs. 10:30).
