[IvyDE] WTP and workspace resolver

[Matt Benson <gu...@gmail.com>]

So it appears that https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi? 
id=184125 is the reason the workspace-resolved projects are not  
published to web servers along with the other dependencies in the  
IvyDE library/classpath container.  So let's give them a barrage of  
votes on that 2+ year-old request.

What do other people do about this lack?  Select the projects as  
utility jars?  I hate that.  Is it correct that a project's libraries  
must be compiled against?  I think that is the case, but if not it  
would seem that creating a second library of class directories  
resolved from workspace-resolved projects could work.  I find this  
quite frustrating.

Hi, Tim.  Thanks for your response.  Setting referenced projects as  
utility projects is indeed the workaround we are aware of, but it is  
indeed a completely manual process for us.  It just irks me that  
IvyDE knows everything it needs to do the right thing, and is doing  
all one could really expect of it, but WTP is too stubborn to treat  
the projects as utility projects.

The workaround I've used is:

   - Ensure referenced projects' (all producing jars in my case) facet have
   them as Utility projects
   - Create references from the deployable to the utility projects

It works, but if it's a manual process it'll be an ongoing pain.  We're
generating out .project, .classpath, .settings/*, and related from our Ivy
files, so it's not horrible in our case.

hth,

~Tim
