maven sources are not transitive
--------------------------------
Key: IVY-1137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1137
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Stephen Haberman
When generating ivy.xmls from poms, ivy currently makes a "sources" conf with
the source artifacts.
However, none of the dependencies have a sources->sources(*) conf mapping, so
you cannot retrieve the sources transitively.
Personally, I would prefer seeing the sources/javadocs confs go away and just
using the type=source|javadoc in the master conf, per this thread on ivy-user:
http://www.nabble.com/sources-as-conf-or-type-to26028446.html
But even the shortest path of adding a sources->sources(*) to the dependencies
would work too.
For an example, here is a jetty pom, note that you'll get the jetty source with
this but not the jetty-util source:

(Apologies for the paste bin, it's just what I used in the mail thread.)
