After several months of development and testing, we are pleased to announce the availability of Ivy version 1.0.

Ivy is a free java based dependency manager, with powerful features such as transitive dependencies, ant integration, maven repository compatibility, continuous integration, html reports and many more.

Apart its strong dependency management engine, Ivy also benefits from a growing user community, a public repository of common ivy files, and professional quality services from the source.

And leverage the power of Ivy with an evolving set of tools and plugins:
Ivy CruiseControl Plugin lets you integrate ivy in the famous continuous integration tool from thoughtworks: cruisecontrol.
Ivy Eclipse UI strongly helps eclipse users to write their ivy files, with structural and data completion.

Coming soon:
Subversion Dependency Resolver, lets you use subversion to store your libraries
Ivy Eclipse Classpath, lets you use ivy files as a library container

Finally, many thanks to the users feedbacks and contributions who made this possible.
