The jar also isn't getting created.  I've tried adding a target for it
but then got Main-Class manifest attribute problems.  I'm now firing
up Eclipse to see if it just does it "magically" or something.

--tim

I get tons of build errors in Eclipse.  Most are that the imports
cannot be resolved.  I reckon I could manually add the lib paths to
them but that seems to be clearly the wrong solution to me.  Does one
have to do something/install something to get Eclipse to recognize ivy
for the dependencies?

You need the IvyDE plugin [1]

Once you installed that you need to right click on the ivy.xml file and select "add Ivy Library". This will add a special Eclipse classpath entry for the ivy dependencies.

I think you will also need to set the path to the ivyconf.xml file in the projects properties (right click on the project, and select IVY).

To update the dependencies, right click on the ivy.xml Library entry in the package explorer and select "Resolve".
