---------------------------------------
Summary: Optional <include> ivysettings directives
Key: IVY-1392
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1392
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Yanus Poluektovich
Priority: Minor
To allow for VCS-friendly customization of dependency resolution process, a
feature that allows for files referenced in an <include> directive of an
ivysettings.xml file to be missing without it triggering an error.
With such a feature, it would be possible to write a global ivysettings.xml
file that references a default setup of resolvers/repositories for a project,
commit it into a VCS and then never edit it. Instead, an "optional include"
directive will point to a file with standardized name, say,
ivysettings-local.xml. The file may be missing (which results in the
project-default configuration being used), or a developer can create such a
file and define an alternative resolution configuration for his own use. The
VCS can be configured to ignore the ivysettings-local.xml file, thus absolving
the developer of the need to ensure manually at each check-in that the file is
not committed into the VCS.
Currently, a similar feature is implemented for properties files.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to, for example, override a project-default
resolver with a user-specific one only via use of properties.
