I don't think IvyDE is suppose to install anything in ant classpath

But maybe the maintainers of IvyDE should publish a separate plugin
("IvyAnt" or something) within the same "site" that does that. That
would prevent the surprises (since most users just check the top-level
node of the site in the Eclipse installer, hence grab all the
plugins), also then user could benefit from the Eclipse plugin
installer/updater facility.
IvyDE 1.4 used to install ivy in Eclipse's ant classpath, but at that time Ivy
was bundle into IvyDE. Now that IvyDE and Ivy are packaged as separated OSGi
bundles, it is not possible to make Eclipse add the Ivy bundle to the ant
classpath, it has to be "overpackaged" (Eclipse needs a jar of a jar).
Then as you suggest, a new plugin would be needed. You are welcomed to open a
jira issue about it :).

But why me? :) Anyway, here it is:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-171

Thanks for that - is the kind of technically small thing which can make a big difference to uptake of a new tool. Cheers,

Geoff.

Subject: No Ivy jar in IvyDE?

        As far as I can tell the Ivy plugin does not correctly install
the Ivy jar into the Ant classpath within eclipse - needed to put it in
manually after the install. I guess this is probably a bug or am I
missing something? Thanks!,
