Can the getArchiveFileInCache() methods be put on the RepositoryCacheManager inteface? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-912 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-912 Project: Ivy Issue Type: Wish Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2 Reporter: Guy Mahieu I'm writing an IDE plugin, and I need to access the filepath of a resolved dependency to add to the dependencies of the IDE project. To do this, I needed to use the DefaultRepositoryCacheManager directly since the getArchiveFileInCache(artifact) method is not on the interface. Was this an intentional decision, if so: how should I lookup the archive for the artifact? If not, can this method become part of the interface so the usabiliti of the API increases? Small code snippet to illustrate the current API usage: RepositoryCacheManager repositoryCacheManager = resolver.getRepositoryCacheManager(); if (repositoryCacheManager instanceof DefaultRepositoryCacheManager) { DefaultRepositoryCacheManager defaultRepositoryCacheManager = (DefaultRepositoryCacheManager) repositoryCacheManager; projectDependencies.add(defaultRepositoryCacheManager.getArchiveFileInCache(artifact).getAbsolutePath()); } else { // TODO Check with Ivy dev team if the getArchiveFileInCache method can be pulled up to the interface throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported RepositoryCacheManager type: " + repositoryCacheManager.getClass().getName()); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
