Description

You should publish a separate plugin on http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite whose sole purpose is to expose Ivy.jar to Ant under Eclipse. That would prevent the surprises and the ensuing FAQ (why Ivy tasks can't be defined) since most users just check the top-level node of the update site in the Eclipse installer, hence grabbing all the plugins there. Also then users could benefit from the Eclipse plugin installer/updater facility, rather than fiddling with the Any classpath manually.
