----------------------------------------

> why do we need ivy?

Ivy seems to be the best way to integrate Ant-based projects into the Maven 
world.  You write an Ivy config that lists the jars you depend on, and Ivy 
fetches them, so that you no longer need to include them in svn.  It can 
generate a POM file from its configuration, so that applications that depend on 
Zookeeper can easily get it and its dependencies.  If you maintain your POM 
file manually, then each time you add or upgrade a lib you have to update 
multiple places, while with Ivy you only list your dependencies in one place.  
I think Ivy can also push releases into Maven repos, but I haven't tried that 
yet.  I think this can also be done manually just by copying the .jar, .md5, 
.sha1, .pom, and .asc files to the right directory on people.apache.org.

I did a simplisitic conversion of Avro to Ivy (AVRO-53, 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=785776).  The build.xml now 
generates all of the files but the .asc.  When I first try to do a release I'll 
learn whether this works!
