Install Ivy

wget http://apache.ntu.edu.tw/ant/ivy/2.1.0/apache-ivy-2.1.0-bin.tar.gz
tar zxvf apache-ivy-2.1.0-bin.tar.gz
cd apache-ivy-2.1.0
sudo cp ivy-2.1.0.jar /usr/share/ant/lib
cd src/example/hello-ivy
ant -verbose

Example ivy.xml

<ivy version="2.0">
 <info organisation="mistasy" module="IvyDemo" />
 <dependencies>
  <dependency org="org.slf4j" name="slf4j-api" rev="1.5.8" />
  <dependency org="ch.qos.logback" name="logback-core" rev="0.9.17" />
  <dependency org="ch.qos.logback" name="logback-classic" rev="0.9.17" />
 </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

Ivy mapping to Maven

  • groudId=>org
  • artifactId=>name
  • version=>rev
<dependency>
 <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
 <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
 <version>0.9.17</version>
</dependency>

Introduction

Terminology

  • organisation – like “org.apache“, “ibm“, etc.
  • module – chain of revisions each has a descriptor(ivy.xml) and one or more artifacts.
  • artifact – like “ant-1.7.0-bin.zip“, “apache-ant-1.7.0-src.tar.gz“, etc.
  • type(of an artifact) – like “jar“, “bin“, “source“, etc.
  • extension – like “.jar“, etc.
  • revision – revision of module(not source).
  • status(of a revision) – like “integration“, “milestone” and “release“.
  • configuration(of a module) – distinct dependency-sets.

Patterns

It includes: [organisation] , [module] , [branch] , [revision] , [artifact] , [type] , [ext](extension), [conf](configuration) , [originalname].

About pattern of retrieve task

Here is a very clear explanation:

Ivy files do not define any such concept as “filename”.

Instead, they define artifacts. Artifacts have the following attributes:

  • Module organisation
  • Module name
  • Module revision
  • Artifact name
  • Artifact type
  • Artifact extension

The only thing guaranteed to be unique for an artifact is the combination of all of the above attributes (and that guarantee only applies within a single repository).
