The original ivyconf.xml can be seen at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/forrest/branches/ivyBuild/tools/ivy/ivyconf.xml?revision=506772&view=markup
You're suggestion got us working just fine, so I'm not too worried, but
I'd like to understand the problem.
So do I :-)
But I think I got it now:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<ivyrep name="apache" />
<ivyrep name="apache-snapshot" />
<ivyrep name="ivyrep" />
<ivyrep name="ivyrepsandbox" />
<ibiblio name="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
In your chain you do not reference the resolvers you declare above, but you
create new ones. You should use ref instead of name in the resolvers
declared under the chain:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<ivyrep ref="apache" />
<ivyrep ref="apache-snapshot" />
<ivyrep ref="ivyrep" />
<ivyrep ref="ivyrepsandbox" />
<ibiblio ref="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
Note that you can even declare references without their type:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<resolver ref="apache" />
<resolver ref="apache-snapshot" />
<resolver ref="ivyrep" />
<resolver ref="ivyrepsandbox" />
<resolver ref="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
What could be improved in Ivy is to output a something at least in verbose
mode when you override a resolver definition (give a name for which a
definition already exist). You can open a JIRA issue for that if you want.
Hope things will be clearer now, and enjoy your use of Ivy :-)
