Done.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-742
If I get through my work it's a possibility. I'm trying to convert
our whole build system to use ivy and I still have a bunch more
modules to go. :) But its working very well so far.

Let's say I have multiple modules each with their own ivy.xml

interface"/>
<include file="path/to/included-configurations.xml"/>
</configurations>
<publications>
<artifact name="${interface.jar.prefix}" type="jar"
conf="interface" ext="jar"/>
</publications>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="twc" name="mas-core" rev="${mas.version}"
conf="interface->server"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
and I want them all to share an inherited configuration found in a
file: included-configurations.xml
<configuration>
<conf name="test"/>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency name="testng" rev="5.7" conf="test"/>
</dependencies>
so in the inherited configurations file I'd also like to include a
dependency that goes along with that configuration.
Is something like this possible?
No, this is not possible in Ivy, but you can use text or xml
processing
tools to recompose your Ivy file before asking Ivy to resolve the
dependencies of your module.
Alternatively, since what you ask is close to maven 2 parent
mechanism, I
think it could be a nice addition to Ivy feature set. So feel free
to open
an issue, and even provide a patch :-)
