Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-996:
----------------------------------
Mmm, this is not straightforward to use a nightly in eclipse, mainly because we
have a naming convention for nightlies which conflict with eclipse version
naming convention. But this is pretty easy to fix, I'll try to find some time
to do it and keep you informed.

> h3. Fixing useless extra HEAD requests
> When searching for an artifact named "project" version "2.2.+" for
> organization "org", Ivy attempts HEAD requests for completely not possible
> versions.
> IE: /org/project/0.9.2/ivy-0.9.2.xml
> This is not terribly painful unless you have thousands of builds and are not
> on the same network as your ivy server.
> h3. Are HEAD requests even necessary?
> Simply getting a directory listing should be good enough to determine if
> there is an artifact (for choosing latest-release). Now, after one is chosen,
> if no ivy.xml file exists, I could understand trying the next one, but trying
> all of them, just to select the latest one anyways seems like a complete
> waste.
