Hi ivy-users,

we are currently setting up a large code repository for OSGI bundles. Goal of 
this work is to create recommendations models for Eclipse Code Recommenders 
intelligent code completion, code search, and extdocs platform (see 
http://eclipse.org/recommenders and http://code-recommenders.blogpost.com for 
details). The OSGI bundles will be collected from public available Eclipse 
Update Sites and should be stored locally using a Maven/Ivy like directory 
structure. After the sites have been copied, several analyses will be run to 
extract information such as frequent usage patterns, common code snippets etc.

I just learned that since 2.3. Ivy has support for dealing with OSGI 
dependencies such as import packages etc. which is really big news! Since 
documentation is a bit rare yet, I'd like to ask you for little information 
what can be done with Ivy 2.3:

1. Is it supported to copy/mirror an Eclipse P2 repository into a local Ivy 
repository?
2. Is there a simply way to create an Ivy file from an existing OSGI-bundle 
manifest?
3. How well is resolving OSGI dependencies supported? Are there any known 
limitations I should be aware?

Thanks a lot,
Marcel

is there a release plan for ivy 2.3 ? IvyDE 2.2 ?
