The worksapce resolver implemented in the beta1 is a sort of workaround. The process implemented is to launch a normal resolve. Then if some of the resolved dependency is mathing the organization name and module name of some project in your Eclipse workspace, then IvyDE will switch the resolved jar by the Eclipse project. So if you don't have any build of your dependency, it cannot work because the first normal resolve will fail.
Even with that limitation, I'm excited by the new feature. It's very nice to have changes in my project dependencies reflected immediately.
Some downsides: it causes a resolve of every project in the workspace, which can be quite slow at times. I'm getting much more careful about closing projects which I don't need for my current work. It also makes figuring out the cause of the "X" error icon on a project a little trickier, as it can now indicate a problem in a dependency. The Problems View is getting much more use.
Thanks for implementing that. Once we also have a plugin for ant classpath contribution of ivy, the integration into Eclipse will be very nice.
Thanks, --kirby
