What is Apache IvyDE?

Apache IvyDE is the Eclipse plugin which integrates Apache Ivy’s dependency management into Eclipse™.

Apache IvyDE lets you manage your dependencies declared in an ivy.xml file 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.

Major changes in this release:

IvyDE can now manage credentials stored in a secured store. Rather than putting passwords for HTTP Authentication in a property file, IvyDE allows you to use the secure storage capability of Eclipse and your OS to store them. See the new "Security" panel in the global preferences of IvyDE.

Compatibility:

IvyDE now requires Java 7 and Eclipse 4.3 aka Eclipse Kepler as minimum.
