IVY Console
To view all IVY activity, switch to the IVY Console in your Eclipse Console. More info here.
Refresh and Resolve operations
At any time, you can force ivyDE to resolve your project's dependencies by right clicking on the Ivy managed library.
Use the correct Eclipse view
The ivyDE classpath container appears only in the Package Explorer and Project Explorer views in Eclipse. If you are using Navigator view, you will not see the entry.
Manually Editing ivy.xml
On some installations, opening ivy.xml results in the following error: Could not open the editor: An unexpected exception was thrown. Because of the Pentaho modifications made to the official IvyDE plugin, IvyDE's ivy.xml editor is broken. As a workaround, use the standard XML editor by right-clicking ivy.xml, clicking Open With, and then clicking XML Editor.
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) Projects
The launch GWT projects in hosted mode, you'll need the development libraries appropriate for your operating system. To configure this, in Package Explorer view, right-click the root of the project, click Build Path, click Configure Build Path, click the Libraries tab, click the ivy.xml container, and click Edit. Click the Advanced tab on the resulting Edit Library dialog. Check one of codegen-linux, codegen-win, or codegen-mac depending on your OS. Click Finish then click OK.
Download GWT distribution for your OS. TODO
Linux
The above instructions do not work for Linux. What does work is the following:
- Download the GWT Linux distribution.
- Unzip it.
- Edit the Build Path for your GWT-based project.
- Uncheck any codegen* configurations for the ivy.xml container.
- Add gwt-dev-linux.jar (from the unzipped distribution) as an External JAR.
