Thank you all for your replies. It seems that for all the avenues proposed, I'd have to end up writing an ivy.xml file, _which is what I want to avoid_. Even if I did that programmatically, what would it contain based on a directory full of jars?
Could I just make up dummy org names and module names, since there's not going to be OSGi type of info in most of these jars files. I guess not since I'd have to give the file back to Ivy for by calling ivy:resolve. What I want is <ivy:resolveJars dir="..." pattern="*.jar" conf="..."/> but that does not exist :( At the end of the day I want the jars on a classpath in IvyDE and Ant. In Ant I can do the above easily "make a cp from all the jars over here", but in IvyDE? I guess I'll have to add them all to the .classpath file, not great... Am I missing something?
