You could add a resolver specifically for that one with a relaxed pattern that will find pretty much everything that is a jar. Personally I didn't like the revision on the jars I just took it off the pattern for everything that is using the Ivy Repository Layout. They are still in a folder under the version but I didn't see the need for the redundancy in the jar name. Most JARs should have the version inside the MANIFEST.MF anyway.
I did this for my Websphere runtime which consists of numerous other JARs which each could be managed with their own ivy file and each has a version but that was too much work. I didn't use the wildcard like you did because I had specific JARs I wanted but it should work like you have with a separate resolver and different repository layout pattern.

Hey, I have a project that depends on Google's gdata-1.45.0 which is a bunch of 43 different JARs and each JAR has its own version number. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to say that my project depends on gdata-1.45.0 and Ivy retrieves the 43 JARs for me without me having to define each one individually such as gdata-calendar-2.0.jar. I was looking into using something lile... <dependency org="google" name="gdata" rev="1.45.0"> <include name="*"/> </dependency> ... but I don't think I understand what the purpose of <include/> is and what it does.
