Sorry, my focus has changed considerably since making a couple of
promises here. I still have this on my todo list, but it's not right
at the top right now (although it is rising again).

With respect to Ivy + Eclipse specifically you need IvyDE, see the Ivy site.

Hi Brian, I have some notes I wrote down gleaned from what Ross has
explained on list. However I never got it working successfully, the
main problem being I guess is that I am a noob where Eclipse is
concerned and don't really know how to use it. I spent a fair amount
of time trying to get it to work without success and was not getting
much work done, so have delayed trying to get it to work for a while
so I can move forward a bit.

I will try again at some point but wont be for a while.

Gav...
