Rename ivy configuration in settings to remove ambiguity on configuration
meaning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-438
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-438
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Reporter: Xavier Hanin
Fix For: 1.5
Since its inception Ivy suffers from an ambiguity on the meaning of
configuration. Indeed configuration is used both for the act of configuring
Ivy, with a configuration file used for that, and for module configurations,
which can be thought as ways to use a module.
The proposition is to remove this ambiguity by renaming the configuration file
in a settings file.
This is mostly a modification in the documentation, but will also impact the
code, the default name for settings file being now ivysettings.xml instead of
ivyconf.xml, and the root element being ivysettings instead of ivyconf. ivyconf
element will still be recognized but deprecated. ivyconf.xml will still be
found in the working directory, but ignored if an ivysettings.xml exists.
