Hi Nicolas
I think I've found the problem - apologies, I think it is "finger
trouble" on my part (as we used say when I was in electronics)
I think that when I was getting the build files correct for one project
I was occasionally flushing the ivy cache.
If I followed this with a Project->clean with automatic rebuild a lot of
dependencies for the sub projects were missing, because, of course the
ivy.xml file for one project doesn't necessarily contain all the
dependencies for the other projects.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Alan

Hi
I'm using ivy2.0.0/ivyide2.0.0.beta/eclipse 3.4
I have a number of projects which all contribute to a number of wars
(not all sub-projects are in every war.)
I've been converting these to use ivyIde. I've been editing each
ivy.xml file for each project to specify the dependencies for that
project. It all works fine on a per project basis - that is, I can
right-click on the ivy.xml entry in the project menu and 'resolve'.
However, if I clean and rebuild all the projects at once I get some
weird errors. It looks like ivyide is not recreating the classpath on
a 'per project' basis, but just for all the projects.
By "clean and rebuild" do you mean using the command "clean" in the
"Project" menu ? The classpath should not be be affected by this kind
of task.
Yes I'm using the Project->Clean and then selecting 5 projects to clean
at once. It cleans and then rebulds the workspace. When that has
completed there are errors in some projects which can then be removed by
right-clicking on the ivy.xml[*] entry and selecting "Resolve" on each
affected project.
Actually which errors are you seeing ?
If the ivy cache is being wipeout somehow, then usually Eclipse complains
about a build classpath problem, about some missing referenced jars, and don't
even try to build anything.

Are your using some "resolve in workspace" feature in IvyDE ?
Not as far as I know - some of the projects are referenced by other
projects (using the Projects tab in the "Configure Build Path" dialog)
Do you use some WTP enable project ? I don't know well how thoses
features behave with classpath management and rebuilding.
Yes I am using WTP - BUT the projects in which the problem occurs are
only 'Java' projects and only have the 'Java Nature' so there should be
no WTP stuff in there. I've checked, and none of these projects have a
.settings folder at the top level which is where WTP stores its
configuration stuff.
As a general note it seems to me like the ivy cache is being cleared by
the multiple project rebuild but for each project. I don't understand
why. Maybe I'm doing something stupid in the ivy settings?
Hope that clarifies the problem.
