Thanks for the response. I guess i'll have to go look for documentation
on 'parents' -- didn't know about that. I guess i'm just missing
something in this whole process that makes it seems so ridiculously
complex. I want a bunch of jar files, and I know where to get them from.
This whole dependency/parent thing just seems like overkill. Is it
usually the case that you don't know what jars you need?
Perhaps for my situation, i'll just write an ant task that pulls the
jars from the appropriate repos, which should be relatively trivial, and
less likely to fail, or at least be more predictable.
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, it's not a dependency - it's a parent. It may be
necessary to depend on Ant Parent first, then Ant, e.g.
<dependency org="org.apache.ant" name="ant-parent"
rev="${ant.version}" conf="*->*,!sources,!javadoc"/>
<dependency org="org.apache.ant" name="ant" rev="${ant.version}"
conf="*->*,!sources,!javadoc"/>
I'm not sure if that will fix it, but I've had issues with other
Apache Projects and their parents before... Mostly when trying to
apply namespace rules to the parent (it doesn't work).

Greetings,
I'm trying to introduce Ivy into a mature product where 3rdparty jars are
checked in to the scm. My first step is just to have ivy yank down all these
files, and then copy them into the locations where they currently exist,
that way the mult-project ant build won't need to know anything about ivy
(except for the first build step of pulling the files down). Once this is
working, I'll remove the jars from the scm, and then work on making the
build more ivy-like.
So to start, i've created an ivy.xml that specifies a transitive="false"
configuration, and have listed all the jars that are currently in my scm.
Many of the jars work fine, but a few have the following problem. For
instance here is a snippet from my ivy.xml
.....
<configurations>
<conf name="default" transitive="false"/>
</configurations>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.apache.ant" name="ant" rev="${ant.version}"
conf="*->*,!sources,!javadoc"/>
....
....
...
When run with ant -v
I get

So ivy can't find ant-parent in the repo1.maven.org repo. Now I suppose that
is a problem with that repository, but why is ivy trying to download that
file, since i specified no dependencies? I don't want or need that file.
How do i get around this?
