Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-478:
-----------------------------------

So you want a way to build Avro jars from source without invoking ivy, is that 
right?

If you're willing to make sure that all the required jars are in ${ivy.lib} and 
${ivy.test.lib} (build/lib and build/test/lib by default) then this should be 
as simple as adding unless="${ivy.disabled}" to all of the -retrieve tasks in 
build.xml.  Does that sound like what you're looking for?  Then you could 
specify "-Divy.disabled=true -Divy.lib=... -Divy.test.lib=..." on the ant 
command line.  Could that work for you?

How will you track Java dependencies as they change?  We specify java 
dependencies in one place in the sources: ivy.xml.  Will you update your Avro 
Java dependencies with each Avro release by hand?
