Not sure I understood the first part, but glad to see if I can work it through. More questions if I prove to be an idiot.
I wasn't publishing sources at all, which probably accounts for the confusion. Only in the middle of asking the question did the idea occur that maybe that would help. -----Original Message----- From: Not Zippy [mailto:notzi...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 1:04 PM To: ivy-user@ant.apache.org Subject: Re: 2 Questions for ivyIDE The local repository is a cached based repository. The frequency of the updates is specified in the ivysettings file. Check out <cache><ttl> elements (Personally I specify all my cache settings to be in my "target" folder, and in eclipse set the resolve to occur within the workspace) How are you publishing your sources in ivy ? Eclipse will retrieve them if you publish them properly.
