Hi, Things that would make it easier for a non Java developer (correct me if I am wrong as I am just throwing ideas out here):
Browse through artifactory and almost have an "Add to Dependency Cart" option. A developer could browse through and add all their dependencies to a cart this could then be saved as a dependency list (which could be shared/watched by one or more people....e.g. someone may add a new assembly to the list). From this list you can generate the Pom or Ivy file that would fetch the dependencies listed. For cross language dev teams I would most likely create a generic script (e.g. a NAnt target) that they could tie into their build script and call. If all they wish to use Ivy or Maven for is to pull down the dependencies then having this file generated (and giving them the option to refresh it if the list changes) would be ideal. I wouldn't want them to have to learn Ivy/Maven specific configuration (you could say they should but when trying to introduce something reducing the barriers to entry helps a lot :) ). If you could expose this via a service (i.e. add this dependency to list X, remove from list X, update etc and then generate which would return a string representing the pom or ivy file) then people could then build their own clients to do this as well. Anything that could be done to aid discovery (i.e. you can search classes but I am guessing that is Java only) on the artifactory side would also help :).
