Hi Tom and Paul, I'm using ivy configurations to populate various different directories that I then reference in my Ant build scripts, such as libraries used at compilation time, runtime and executing junit tests. Is that right?
When I create a module dependency file, I've found I have to include these project configurations in the file in order for ivy to work. If I just have a file as follows, ivy fails with unresolved dependencies: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ivy-module version="1.0" xmlns:m="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/maven";> <info organisation="abc" module="my-library" revision="2.0.7"/> <publications> <artifact name="my-library" type="jar" ext="jar"/> </publications> <dependencies> <dependency org="jakarta-commons" name="commons-logging" rev="1.1"/> </dependencies> </ivy-module> However for my transient dependencies I can not include any module dependency file as there is no issue. An include file would mean I would only have to define these project configurations once, but ideally I don't want to define them at all in my shared repository?

It's generally a good idea to have a fairly standard set of configurations (you can include them from a standard file using the <include> element). You can always add additional module specific ones if required. > I would like each of the artifacts to be usable by all projects and all > configurations, without having to add a list of all project > configurations to every module dependency file in the shared repository. > My repository shouldn't have to know about every project that is going > to use it. Is this possible, and if so how? You don't need to have a particular configuration name in your module in order to use artifacts from that configuration name in another module. e.g. Other module: confs = foo, bar Your module: confs = baz <dependency org="yours" name="Other module" rev="whatever" conf="baz->foo"/> That means your baz conf depends on the foo conf from the other module. Did that answer your question - I may have misunderstood? Configuration mapping in dependencies allows you to express complex relationships between confs in the source module and those in the dependency module.
