Actually, recently Ivy got a code donation from Bushel [1] so it can now support some OSGi dependency management. Some early documentation can be found on the site [2]. And even more recently (last week), I started to try to implement a parser of "old school" Eclipse update site [3] and a parser of a p2 repository [4]. This is my first code shot. I have been able to parse an old school one. For p2 it is not working since it cannot yet found properly the files online. Any contribution to that code would be more than welcomed !
