How to install ivy in Spring Source Tools Suite (STS) / eclipse

Question

I am a .net developer and new to Java/eclipse/STS.

I am trying to setup a development environment in STS (STS = eclipse + spring tools). I need to use ivy for dependency management as I need to have multiple projects involved.

The problem is that I am unable to get the STS environment integrate with ivy!

I have been reading a lot of blogs/tutorials etc. but most of them just talk about installing each product separately and not on how to integrate them.

Any help or good link to integrate/install ivy with STS is appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Regards Ajay

Based on your question, I am not exactly sure what you have tried and what you have not. I am assuming that you have STS set up properly and are just looking at how to install the Ivy tooling into STS. Ivy tooling is called IvyDE

The first thing to do is to make sure that the update site is correct. Here is the correct update site for IvyDE:

http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite

Add this update site to your install manager (Help -> Install new software...). Then go through the steps to install.

If you have a version conflict or anything like that, please post the exact exception in your question.
