Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-5464:
----------------------------------------
BTW, some might think: why not use Maven?
I believe we don't want to turn to Maven (at leastr I don't see myself doing it
withough a huge amount of free time ahead!
Nevertheless here are some related (some old, maybe redundant) links:

> Extend Ivy usage for easier external lib management
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: OFBIZ-5464
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5464
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL COMPONENTS, framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Attachments: jarfiles.txt
>
>
> Currently Apache Ivy is used to facilitate downloads of specific external jar
> files for Activemq, mySQL, postgreSQL configuration and Sonar and Cobertura
> functions.
> However, Apache Ivy can also be for easier management of the standard jars
> OFBiz is dependent on, in
> - various framework areas
> - various base and special purpose applications/components.
> Applying more ivy functionality will decrease the load on commiters regarding
> maintenance of (and upgrading) external jars used and required licence
> information.
