We use in our projects a SNAPSHOT working model, so we publish a lot SNAPSHOT.jar files. Ivy supports this through checkmodified="true", to include also the date into its resolve strategy. On the command line, through ivy/ant all is fine. In eclipse there is a problem, the jars for each projects are in the cache directory, so all the projects locks the SNAPSHOT.jar. Now publishing a new SNAPSHOT.jar is useless in IvyDE, IvyDE can't replace the jar in the cache, it seems locked through other projects referencing the SNAPHOT.jar. ;-( So IvyDE should release all jars files in all projects classpath containers before making a resolve or the jars should retrieved in their own directory for each project like ivy is doing.
