define artifacts not declared by the dependency module descriptor
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-419
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-419
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Reporter: Xavier Hanin
Fix For: 1.5
When you don't control your dependency module descriptor (using a public repo
for example) it happens that you want more control over the dependency.
For the moment, it's possible to define artifacts for the dependency only if
the dependency has no module descriptor. What would be interesting would be to
be able to declare such artifacts even when the dependency has a module
descriptor. To be sure this is what is requested by the user, a boolean
attribute would be use on the dependency artifact declaration:
{code:xml}
<dependency org="foo" name="bar" rev="1.0">
<artifact name="baz" type="source" ext="jar" assumePublished="true"/>
</dependency>
{code}
This feature would also help implement maven2 classifiers (see IVY-418)
