I've not used Ivy, but would be willing to see how it works.
Conceptually I think it is a good idea. Personally, I don't mind
storing jars in subversion.

Hi folks,
while creating the release I wondered about the size of the
distributables and how to reduce them, esp. in the src ones. One of
things to do here would obviously be fetching the required jars from a
central repository.
Now I'm not that much of a Maven guy, and given the troubles that the
jakarta commons guys had/have, I'd rather avoid Maven 1 (Maven 2 might
be worth checking out though).
However, we can have this easier if we wanted, with the help of Ivy
(http://www.jayasoft.org/ivy). It basically performs the dependency
management for Ant, e.g. loads jars that we depend upon, from ibiblio
or some other central repository. There's even ways to automatically
use the ivy dependency descriptors as a classpath in Eclipse (perhaps
also for IDEA, havn't checked).
WDYT, should I try to integrate Ivy into OJB ?
