> Sigil provides an API to configure resolvers to locate OSGi dependencies however the ivy build and eclipse build look in different places to find out which resolvers are enabled for a particular project.
> * The ivy build uses a properties file format that can be shared by nested sub projects
> * The eclipse build uses eclipse preferences to configure workspace specific configuration
> This involves duplication of effort on the part of developers using sigil. 
> The shared properties file format is generally preferred as it enables checkin to version control mechanisms such as cvs, svn, git, etc also it reduces duplication of information at leaf nodes. 
> The problem for the eclipse side of things is that eclipse has no notion of nested projects so if you were to import projects from different top level projects it is not intuitive to the developer which settings they are editting and whether edits will effect other projects.
