Hi All,

I'm getting around to help migrate a badly maintained flat file third party jar 
repo to resolve third party jars from nexus. An unfortunate problem is the 
existing flat file repo had jars manually downloaded with ivy.xml files created 
by hand so the orgs and names don't match reality. This is exacerbated by well 
over 1,200 projects with dependencies on these artifacts. I think it goes 
without saying that converting projects to use the right organizations and 
names would be a lot of work. ;)

So I got to thinking... is there some way I could use ivy and the existing ivy 
pattern resolver to compile a list of orgs and names that could then be matched 
up with reality? From there it'd probably be a simple matter of crawling the 
internal repository and programmatically updating all the ivy.xmls.

Thanks,
James
