Ivy-Boost with Eclipse project generation
Hi Ivy-users,
this is not directly Ivy related...
I am currently working on a generic continuous integration build system using Ant, Ivy and Hudson.
IMHO the SCM should not contain any binary libraries. They should com from ivy via the ivy.xml. I know that almost everybody here on the list will agree on this. Further I would say IDE specific configurations should not be in the SCM either.
Maven has the Eclipse-Plugin [1] to configure projects ready to use in Eclipse. I think there should be an Ivy equivalent tool to handle this for ivy projects.
IvyDE handles a classpath container for Eclipse. But there is no generation of the .project file for Eclipse.
There should be an Ant Task for the generation of .project, .settings/*.
Ant-Eclipse [2] is a good start for this. Currently it can create the .classpath, the .project (for standard Java and AspectJ applications) and some simple .settings (see [3]). But the project's last update was 2 years ago and there is no generation of configuration files for WTP/WST.
What do you think about such a project? Maybe we could reanimate Ant-Eclipse.
BTW: I think it can be helpful to give ivy even more boost :)

First of all thanks for your offer to help.
Where should I open it? The ant-eclipse project is discontinued... I contacted the project leader, but there was no response for 5 days now.
I don't think that it should be part of ivy. What do you think Xavier and Maarten?

Michael,
You should open a defect for this. I'd be willing to help work on a patch to implement this.
