Ivy file editor


Edit your ivy files easily in eclipse with the IvyDE Plugin editor.
IvyDE brings creation wizard, html preview and completion for Ivy xml tag, attributes but also for attributes' values!
Choose an organisation and browse thru its projects and revisions.

Wizard

IvyDE comes with a wizard that allows you to create an ivy.xml file for your project.
To open the wizard choose File->New->Other in the Eclipse menu (Ctrl+N by default)
The Ivy wizard is accessible in the category Other. Select it then click Next

The wizard contains only one page, and is very simple.

    Wizard fields:
  1. Container: you have to select the targeted project. (This is already set if you access the wizard thanks right click menu on your project root folder)
  2. File name: the ivy file name. (ivy.xml by default and its better to keep it in most of case)
  3. Organisation: the component owner name. (your company name or the company that provides the component if you are writing ivy.xml file for 3rd party jars). Note this value can be set in the Ivy preference page
  4. Module name: the component name.
  5. Status: the status of the project. (integration by default since we have just created its ivy file :-). Please refer to Ivy documentation for more details)
When the form is correctly filled you can press Finish button. Eclipse will automatically open the Ivy editor.
