Description

Currently Eclipse configuration (namely .classpath) isn't synchronized automatically when lib versions are changed. This causes great inconvenience so people have to change their project settings manually, etc.

It'd be great if these configs could be updated automatically every time such a change takes place, e.g. whenever ivy is pulling in new version of a jar.
