Description

It seems that IvyDE is failing to resolve the workspace_loc: eclipse variable. For example, the root of my project is located and referenced as:

"${workspace_loc:/project_name/}"

This is a Remote System Explorer type project, located on a different server. The ivy settings file is contained within the project and referenced via this url.

This is the stack trace I get when I try to resolve, reload settings, or really do anything related to ivy in the project:

I reviewed the implementation of ResolvedPath.java and it seems that this is a result of a MalformedURLException.

I'm not sure if IvyDe supports Remote System Explorer, but it seems to be having quite a bit of trouble. Please let me know if you need any further info from me.
