Hi
I'm comparatively new to Ivy. Generally speaking it seems to do what I
want, but I keep having trouble connecting all the dots.
My particular problem at the moment is using configurations. I've looked
at all the docs and tried the example. But I can't quite work out how to
make it work in my own project.
I have a project with several sub-projects. I have Ivy happily managing
the internal dependencies.
Each sub project has compile, test and publish targets and an ivy.xml
file to control the dependencies of the sub-project.
I have already created an 'enterprise' repository as an attempt to work
around broken maven2 metadata.
What I can't quite work out is how to select from my 3rd party
dependencies by mapping the configurations. For example, the Spring 2.5.1
ivy file created by using ivy:import on the maven2 repository produces
its own ivy.xml file containing configurations like default, master,
compile, provided, runtime, test, system and optional.
When I use spring in my own projects I only want to include the runtime
dependencies in my own compile and test classpaths.
Lets assume that my own configurations are mycompile and mytest and I
want to specify a dependency on spring in my ivy.xml.
Without dependencies it would be something like:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring" rev="2.5.1" />
I feel that I should then add some kind of 'conf' setting but I can't
quite seem to work it out.
Does anyone have any suggestions
Thanks
