Eric Milles commented on IVYDE-299:
-----------------------------------

If I find that Ivy is making a change to the IvyDE line, make that change and 
find that IvyDE is still rewriting the file continuously, would you consider a 
fix?  I do understand that the .classpath file is an Eclipse-managed entity.  
But, up to this point, we were able to make our own annotations to the 
.classpath file that would stick as long as we weren't making any changes to 
the build path of the project.

Regardless of that, it is still important that we not have a pending change on 
.classpath for every developer.  This is very dangerous and often leads to 
unintended changes to the Java build path ending up committed to source control.

> The latest beta (2.2.0b1) is continually rewriting the project's .classpath 
> file.  This is problematic for two reasons: 1) Our project is submitted to 
> source control, so the rewriting causes a pending change for the .classpath 
> file and 2) We are manually editing the .classpath file to add useful 
> comments, which are being lost when the file is written again.  Reverting to 
> 2.1.0 and the issue goes away.
