What happened to Ivy support?
I was told we could expect Ivy support in Idea X. I can't find mention of it anywhere, and after downloading it just now sure enough there doesn't seem to be any. What happened? This is a pretty big hole IMO, as none of the available Ivy plugins are actively maintained nor up to snuff.

Hello Thomas,
Unfortunately we didn't have the resources to implement Ivy support for IDEA
X. It's still under consideration for future releases of IntelliJ IDEA.

Frankly speaking, I wish our project migrated to Maven and got rid of the whole Ant+Ivy malarkey. However, as it's not planned for the near future, I am using IvyIDEA 0.9-beta2 at the moment, and it kind of does the job, although it is a far cry from the excellent Maven support in the latest versions. There is a later version of plugin available, but it is not available through plugin manager. You need to download it yourself and unpack into plugins directory.
I did a quick search on the YouTrack, and this ticket cropped up:

Vote for it if you wish.
IvyIDEA beta2 is what I use also, as it seems to be the only even moderately successful solution. But it's still a far cry from good, and like pretty much all the Ivy plugins, seems abandoned from a development standpoint.
As for Ant + Ivy vs Maven, I agree that I tend to prefer the latter. But Ivy works well for us and clearly it's usage is widespread enough to warrant integration IMO (which Eclipse already has I might add).
We're looking at switching to Gradle - which uses Ivy or Maven (we'll
keep our corporate Ivy repository).
Gradle's similar to Maven, but can extend/wrap your existing Ant or
Maven scripts, so it's easy to migrate. More powerful than Ant, much
more pliable than Maven. And it has an Idea plugin which
generates/updates your Idea project, so your libs are in sync.
