OK, so after doing some digging I found that there is a cache resolver which extends FS resolver, but I don't understand its behavior at all, and there doesn't seem to be any documentation or unit tests on it.
All I'm looking for is some way to publish and resolve strictly to a cache, no other resolvers involved. And preferably this resolver doesn't need to specify any artifacts or ivy pattern, because it's defined explicitly or implicitly by the cache definition. Does Ivy have anything like this? I experimented with the cache resolver, I found that Ivy will not prohibit a resolver definition of <cache name="mycacheresolver"/>, but will not add it to the list of resolvers. If you try to specify any patterns or attributes, the settings task fails with a message that there is no appropriate method to add these things. Help much appreciated... It would really be a benefit if we could interact only with the cache without any repository. ----------------------------------------- ==================================================== This message contains PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL information that is intended only for use by the named recipient.
