With Gradle 1.4 and 1.5 (and possibly some earlier versions), the follow error occurs when resolving dependencies from an Ivy repository if the module descriptor contains an ivyauthor tag:
java.text.ParseException: [unknown tag ivyauthor in http://MY_IVY_REPO/com.google/guava/r09/ivy-guava-r09.xml According to the XSD at http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd and the documentation at https://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.3.0/ivyfile/info.html, zero or more ivyauthor tags should be allowed. It looks like the repository element should also be allowed as a child of the info element too. I noticed that org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ivyresolve.parser.IvyXmlModuleDescriptorParser was originally copied from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/ivy/core/trunk/src/java/org/apache/ivy/plugins/parser/xml/XmlModuleDescriptorParser.javabut doesn't contain } else if (state == State.INFO && "ivyauthor".equals(qName)) { // nothing to do, we don't store this } else if (state == State.INFO && "repository".equals(qName)) { // nothing to do, we don't store this } in startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes). Would it make sense just to add these lines to Gradle's IvyXmlModuleDescriptorParser? Thanks, Jeremy
