Hi Jon,
My initial suggestion was to:
(1) Download Ivy descriptors using Ivy (not Maven) to a remote repo, such
as orion-ivy-ivyfiles (not sure why you needed to split the remote repos,
BTW)
(2) Using a plugin, transform an Ivy file in afterRemoteDownload() to a POM
and redeploy it to a maven local repo from which your Maven builds resolve.
Transformation can only be done if orion-ivy-ivyfiles stores the Ivy files
(uncheck 'Do not Store Artifacts Locally'). Then you can get to the files
using the Repositories object.
It is possible, though a bit intrusive, to make the transformation on the
fly, without keeping the requested Ivy files by using the altRemoteContent
and altRemotePath handles. It still makes sense to store artifacts locally
to host the resolved POM and avoid repeating the transformation.
As a general hint, since you know the path you are after, you can craft it
the way you want and don't need to stick with the value of repoPath - so,
if you the get the POM and need the Ivy file, simply create the path you
are after as a new groovy var.
Hope that helps,
Yoav

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
