we have a large ant-based project that is presently just referencing a

manage those dependencies.
some of our dependencies are already in standard repos, but some of them
aren't. we just have a JAR file that we did not build and cannot build.
so i was looking for something like "mvn install:install-file ..." to
"publish" the JAR into the ivy local cache. eventually these
dependencies will be in a well-defined maven repo, but that is a lot of
overhead just to do a proof of concept w/ ivy ...
We have a bit of our SVN repository set up in the structure of an Ivy
repo...the conf file is set to read from there ahead of the remote
repositories; this gives us ivy integration without hosting a live,
public repository
