The syntax is conf="local->remote". So if you have a configuration "normal" that requires the "runtime" configuration of spring, then you would say:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring" rev="2.5.1" conf="normal->runtime"/> If necessary, you can specify more than one configuration name (on either side of the "->") if you separate them by commas. -Archie On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 12:13 PM, Alan Chaney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I'm comparatively new to Ivy.
