+The Apache IvyDE project is pleased to announce its 2.2.0 release.
The Apache IvyDE Eclipse plugin integrates Apache Ivy's dependency management
into Eclipse. It lets you manage your dependencies declared in an ivy.xml in
your Java Eclipse projects, or any other kind of project which needs dependency
management. Apache IvyDE will contribute to the classpath of your Java project
or you can make it retrieve your dependencies directly into your project. Last
but not least Apache IvyDE offer editors of ivy.xml and ivysettings.xml files
with completion. Get some preview here:

Major changes in this release:
-
-!!!!!!! TODO !!!!!!!!!
+* the API of IvyDE has been stabilized so that third party plugins can rely on
it,
+* while still not complete, and still not advertised as stable in Ivy, support
of OSGi has been added,
+* javadoc and source attachement can be edited now one by one,
+* improved stability of the resolve process,
+* improved logging for easier debugging.
Compatibility:
-* this release is expected to work with every version of Ivy 2.1 or superior
+* this release is expected to work with every version of Ivy 2.1 or superior.
The OSGi features require Ivy 2.3.0 or superior though.
-This release is considered as beta since the important changes in IvyDE
resolve feature. We encourage our early users to test it and report us any
issue they found.
+This release is considered as stable. The beta of 2.2.0 has been out for a
(too) long time.

<h1><a name="status"></a>Status of this release</h1>
-This release contains sevral major improvements along with some bug fixes. The
major improvements are about the resolve scheduler and how retrieved artifact
are handled.

<h1><a name="majorchanges"></a>Major Changes in this Release</h1>
-As for this release and the next ones, Apache IvyDE now expects to be
installed in Eclipse 3.4 or superior.
+The API of IvyDE has been stabilized so that third party plugins can rely on
it. The developper community will now ensure that the non "internal" package
will be kept backward compatible.
+
+While it is still not advertised as stable in Ivy, some support of OSGi has
been added. IvyDE can now read the OSGi metadata on the dependencies being
resolved and setup the proper access rules. It doesn't work with the workspace
resolver yet (see IVYDE-350).
-Apache IvyDE has now a synchronous job to launch resolve of dependencies on
the projets. So IvyDE will be able to order the resolve of the projects in the
correct order regarding their inter dependencies. And the immediate effect is
that Eclipse get notified only one time of a classpath change, and thus
triggerin only one wrokspace build.
+IvyDE is automatically mapping sources and javadocs to resolved jars. But now
for edge cases, it is possible to override the default mapping and edit the
javadoc and source attachement jar by jar.
-Apache IvyDE is now capable of having a classpath based on retrieved artifact
rather than on the cached ones.
+The resolve process, the heart of IvyDE features, has been even more
stabalized and improved. For instance, now at Eclipse startups IvyDE is far
less required to launch a resolve of the classpath; the privious state of the
classpath containers are saved between Eclipse sessions.
-The existing retrieve configuration are now considered "standonale" ones, as
they are independant of the classpath container. They can even now be part of
non Java project.
+IvyDE now have it own logging channel. In the Ivy console, different levels
can be choosed on how IvyDE itself is logging about the resolve processes.
