  * changes, this resolver will link dependent projects when they are open in the same workspace,
  * allowing full-fledged linked project functionality Eclipse provides, such as incremental
  * compilation, debugging, mouseover javadocs, and source browsing across projects.
- * 
+ *
  * <b>How it works</b> During a resolve, it looks at all open projects in the workspace that have
  * Ivy containers. The <b>first</b> project that publishes the module on which the project being
  * resolved depends, will be picked and returned as a special type of artifact called "project".
- * 
+ *
  * The IvyClasspathContainer will recognize the artifact as a project and put the eclipse project as
  * a dependent project within the classpath container of the parent.
- * 
+ *
  * If you do not want a project to be linked as a dependency, close it or delete from the workspace.
  * As soon as you do that, any projects that were linked to it will automatically re-resolve (see
  * {@link WorkspaceResourceChangeListener}) and use the standard Ivy means of finding the
  * dependency.
- * 
+ *
  * The {@link WorkspaceResourceChangeListener} will also auto-resolve when a new project is added or
  * opened, so opening a project will automatically link it into the currently open projects where
  * necessary.
- * 
+ *
  * Since the resolver is not aware which module revision a project is publishing, it optimistically
  * matches any revision of the module.
- * 
+ *
  * Since the resolver stops after finding the first open project which matches the module, having
  * multiple open versions of the same project in the workspace (for example, different branches) may
  * set the wrong version as a dependency. You are advised to only open the version of the project
  * which you want other projects in the workspace to depend on.
- * 
+ *
  * NOTE: Transitive dependencies are not passed from the dependent project to the parent when
  * projects are linked. If you find you are missing some transitive dependencies, just set your
  * dependent eclipse project to export its ivy dependencies. (Project->Properties->Java Build
