java - Multi module Ant build system and Eclipse -

se lets starting multi-module project. library , 2 modules depend on library.

i planning on using ant plus ivy dependency management. looking way integrate eclipse + ant + ivy.

so standard way of working these tools create different project in eclipse each module? or create single project , multiple src folders each module?.

although question might seem subjective one, looking standard way handle multi-module projects under eclipse when using external tool building , dependency management. , standard mean, in way eclipse find dependencies project, auto complete works , src , javadoc available when needed inside ide, when debuging within eclipse, source attached navigate through breakpoints.

please don't tell me use maven, have used , hate passion.

you have ivyde works dependency management (can jar repository or ivy module in workspace).

each eclipse project ivy module dependency may resolved workspace (build path entry eclipse project) or ivy resolver (build path entry ivy cache).

for developer workflow, think doesn't need ant since eclipse build projects you, , ci build, ant script use same ivy modules definition. difference @ each module build, publication done , you'll need else (jenkins?) make dependency build trigger (which in turn resolve dependencies ivy , publish artifacts). there ivy trigger after publish task trigger other project? ivy buildlist task may work never used myself.
