Ivy would allow us to add dependency management features to the existing
Ant build. One issue that we need to address is how to use the Ivy
dependencies to create a Maven pom file, and how to publish to the Maven
repositories. I'll look into this for JiBX/WS. Ivy does have a makepom
task to create a Maven pom from the Ivy dependency file. We could then
use either Jerome's shell scripts or the Maven Ant tasks to publish to
the Maven repositories.

Are these jars available from a location with a structured URL? If so,
we should be able to create an Ivy settings file to resolve the Eclipse
jars using the URL.

Jerome - any thoughts on how we can handle these "missing" jars for
Maven users using the JiBX 1.2 release?

Nigel.
