I am curious (and I hope this does not sound rude) - what problem are you really trying to solve with Ivy Roundup?
I primarily use ivy because I want a corporate internal repository for all our third-party dependencies. Why would I want another external dependency not under my control which takes a lot of work to keep up-to-date with new releases into maven (I may be misunderstanding, but it appears ivy roundup requires hand-coding the ivy files - I just use the autogenerated ones without ivy namespaces so I can easily correlate my ivy repository jar locations to the corresponding maven locations) and doesn't solve sun/oracle jar publication issues? regards, Gareth Andre-John Mas-4 wrote: > > Also, Ivy Roundup is likely to make your life that much easier.
