IvyDE depending on IVY 2.0.0 instead

[Michael Finney <fi...@ACM.org>]

Hi,

1) Any problem with making the IvyDE (2.0.0.beta1) depend on IVY 2.0.0
instead of Ivy 2.1.0RC1?  

2) Any problem with making an eclipse feature without a timestamp in its
name (it seemed to work)?  

We wanted our IvyDE to use IVY 2.0.0.  So we copied/changed features so
ivyde depends on IVY 2.0.0. this included creating a "feature" for the IVY
2.0.0 jar.

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to manually to it into your Eclipse. Just remove  
the Ivy installed in your plugins directory of your Eclipse install  
and the one you want in there.

Timestamps are somehow mandatory as they make Eclipse understand which  
one is after the other. Without them it may work on the end user side,  
but for the developpers or even some contributor it will be a pain.

Actually features are only needed for updatesite management within  
Eclipse. Just putting the plugins you want into your plugins folder  
should work nicely.

I understand this is not user friendly, so there is:
