Okay, following up on this. I've reviewed the documentation found here: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/history/latest-milestone/index.html
<http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/history/latest-milestone/index.html>And it looks like I have everything setup as recommended. So what doesn't make sense to me is why is there a lock on the jars after I remove them from Ivy.xml? My thinking is that once I remove that dependency, then IvyDE will do a resolve and remove that file from the classpath, thus releasing any locks. Then when I call the ivy:retrieve ant task with sync="true", it should be free to delete that file. Am I missing something? How do most people have this setup?
