Kevin O'Neill, author of Necessitas, has announced the release of version 0.4, a class-path container manager for Eclipse. Improvements include reduced startup time, an update to Ivy 1.2a, dependency update checking, and more.

Necessitas is an Eclipse plug-in that adds a class-path container to manage a projects jars using the ivy dependency manager. With Necessitas, developers get the advantages of ivy without leaving eclipse.

Key features for this release:

  • Start-up time greatly reduced (especially for poor bastards like me on a modem
  • Update to Ivy 1.2a
  • Takes advantage of the new “cache only” operations in 1.2a
  • Will attempt to assign source achieves if they are available
  • Developers can check for updated dependencies without downloading them
  • Ivy messages are available while updating
  • Lots of internal cleanup
