Hello Pedro,

Given that the Ivy cache uses the system namespace, would adding a
"fromsystem" in your namespace take care off this conversion. Something
like:

<namespace name="fix-javassist">
          <rule>
              <fromsystem>
                  <src org="org.jboss" module="javassist"/>
                  <src org="javassist" module="javassist"/>
                  <dest org="org.javassist" module="javassist"/>
              </fromsystem>
              <tosystem>
                  <src org="org.jboss" module="javassist"/>
                  <src org="javassist" module="javassist"/>
                  <dest org="org.javassist" module="javassist" />
              </tosystem>
          </rule>
    </namespace>


I haven't given it a try, but from my understanding, the cached
reference (of org.jboss:javassist) which is in system namespace should
then get converted to org.javassist:javassist, with the above configuration.

Can you give that a try?
