Here's most of the particulars of my Ivy configuration:
<ivyconf>
<property name="ivy.log.module.when.found" value="false"/>
<conf defaultCache="${dir.ivy.cache}"
defaultResolver="zilliant-chain"
validate="false"
/>
<resolvers>
<chain name="zilliant-chain" returnFirst="true">
<filesystem name="internal" checkmodified="true"
changingPattern=".*">
<ivy
pattern="${dir.ivy.repository}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml" />
<artifact
pattern="${dir.ivy.repository}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"
/>
<artifact
pattern="${dir.ivy.repository}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"
/>
</filesystem>
<url name="zilliant-3rdparty-repository">
<ivy

/>
<artifact

/>
<artifact
pattern="${url.zilliant.3rdparty.repository}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"
/>
</url>
<ssh name="zilliant-dev-repository"
user="${dev.repository.user}" userPassword="${dev.repository.password}"
host="${dev.repository.server}" checkmodified="true" changingPattern=".*">
<ivy
pattern="/${dev.repository.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml" />
<artifact
pattern="/${dev.repository.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"
/>
<artifact
pattern="/${dev.repository.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"
/>
</ssh>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivyconf>
Obviously, there are some properties that are defined separately, but the gist
is that the chain resolver has 3 sub-resolvers, one on the local filesystem,
one on a web server, and one on an SSH server. The local filesystem resolver
and the SSH resolver basically house our locally built changing artifacts which
have a fixed version number. Since we have a fixed version number, I have tried
to set those resolvers to always check for updated artifacts, first with the .*
changingPattern, then with checkmodified set to true. Unfortunately, this
doesn't seem to be working and, once the artifacts are downloaded to the cache,
newer artifacts in the repositories just get ignored. I tried running with ant
-d and this looks to be the relevant portion trying to resolve my problematic
dependency:

It seems to fall through to the SSH resolver as I would expect, but then
doesn't seem to download the new ivy.xml file with the new publication date or
the new artifacts that have changed. (Don't let the "ftp" directory above fool
you; that just happens to be where the repository is housed on the SSH server).
When I blow away the cache, it works fine.
So, is there something I'm mistaken about on how to get changing artifacts?
More debugging I can do?
