Summary: Support Workspace/Filesystem/Variables for "Ivy File"
setting
Key: IVYDE-304
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-304
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2.0.beta1
Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, MyEclipse 9.1 64-bit, Java
1.6.0_31 64-bit
Reporter: J.C. Hamlin
We have a large enterprise project with many modules, and each module has
multiple projects per module. Each module's projects share the same ivy.xml and
ivysettings.xml files located in a central location.
IvyDE seems to support nicely locating the Ivy settings file outside of the
project. However, not so much for the ivy.xml file.
We'd like to use IvyDE with the ivy.xml file outside of the project (like in a
common build project), but currently the "Ivy File" (saved in the ivyXmlPath in
the .classpath container) configuration only supports paths relative to the
project root. It would be ideal if that supported the same location references
as the "Ivy settings path" (saved in the ivySettingsPath in the .classpath
container), which can be things like a "Workspace" ${workspace_loc:} reference,
any Eclipse variable, or any path on the file system.
I tried hacking into the ivyXmlPath in the .classpath to contain a relative
path like ../builder/ivy.xml, and also tried ${workspace_loc:builder/ivy.xml},
and such, but, as expected, it doesn't work.
Is there a way for multiple eclipse projects to share the same ivy.xml file
stored in a common project? If not, could you enhance IvyDE to support it
please?
