I've made some tests, and I have a couple of comments: 1) the sources distribution is not building, bacause the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file is missing in org.apache.ivyde.eclipse 2) I've tested both deploying the feature manually and with the update site and it works well. However, there's something strange happening: I don't see the Ivy entry in the project properties. Therefore I can't change the ivyde settings per project. So I'd prefer to fix these issues before making this release public. If point #2 is not a blocking issue for an alpha release. #1 is more a problem IMO. WDYT?
