Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-6407:
--------------------------------------------
It seems like an easy way to solve this is to
- modify {{.eclipse.templates/.classpath}} to include only source code folders
and some permanent entries like {{build/classes}}. All dynamic content has to
be replaces with {{<classpathentry kind="lib" path="build/ivy/lib/**}}
Then a separate process invoked by ant build will expand the macro def. above
to the actual content of the directory in question whenever a change of the
libs occurred. Even {{ant eclipse-files}} can be executed automatically after
that. Then the user will simply need to refresh the project in Eclipse IDE.
> Have a way to automatically update Eclipse .classpath file when new libs are
> added to the classpath through Ivy

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently Eclipse configuration (namely .classpath) isn't synchronized
> automatically when lib versions are changed. This causes great inconvenience
> so people have to change their project settings manually, etc.
> It'd be great if these configs could be updated automatically every time such
> a change takes place, e.g. whenever ivy is pulling in new version of a jar.
