The Ivy console provides the Ivy working traces that are visible in the command console. This view can be useful for understanding what Apache Ivy and Apache IvyDE are doing under the covers.
The Ivy Console can be accessed within your Eclipse Console view, by selecting the "Ivy Console" item.
The colors in the console correspond to the different log levels. Here is the default mapping:
-
Debug: light blue
-
Verbose: green
-
Info: black
-
Warn: orange
-
Error: red
There are two kinds of logs. The ones from Ivy itself and the ones from IvyDE. The ones from Ivy are the ones you should be used to see when you use it via Ant.
The IvyDE logs are here to help you understand what IvyDE actually does when launching a resolve or refreshing a project. They can be especially useful in debug mode when reporting a bug to the developers of IvyDE.
