I'm hoping someone else is in a similar situation. We have some utility jars
used by multiple projects. These jars have three different versions: one each
for our test, pilot, and production environments. Therefore I believe each of
the versions needs to be published so it will be available for multiple apps to
use.
When an app builds, it should get the latest version of the jar depending on
the environment. The ivy.xml would contain:
<dependency org="principal" name="utility_jar"
rev="latest.integration"/> .
I'd like to do something like:
ant compile -Denv=test
for it to build with the latest test jar, -Denv=pilot to build with the latest
pilot jar, etc.
My idea is to have three different versions of the settings file, and just
change the root of a resolver based on the environment.
<property name="ivy.shared.default.root"
value="/IvyRepository/test"/> would specify the root of the 'shared' resolver
for the test environment. "/IvyRepository/pilot" would exist for pilot, etc.
The problem I see with this is that the local cache would contain versions from
all environments (depending on which one you built with last) and would have to
be cleared out every time.
Am I overthinking the problem? Is there a way to only have one repository but
still be able to specify the latest jar from a specific environment?
Thanks,
Paul
