John Wu commented on IVY-596:
-----------------------------
Quote:
Ivy proposes two mechanism to only resolve/retrieve dependencies. You can use
configurations, or type of artefact.
The use of configurations will allow you to manage which modules are included
in your resolution. The type of artefact will not really change your
resolutions, but will only retrieve the artefact with the right type.

> HOWTO - Resolve dependencies on demand
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: IVY-596
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-596
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Environment: Windows XP, Ant 1.6.5
> Reporter: John Wu
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4.1
>
>
> Scenario: To run task A, B, C, etc, only a common set of jars/zips (the set
> D) is needed; to run task X, a large number of jars/zips (the set Y) is
> needed. In most cases, task A, B, C, etc will be run. And in very rare cases,
> task X needs to be performed.
> Issue: We don't want ivy to resolve (and may retrieve) the jars/zips in set D
> and Y every time we run the ant task, due to the performance concern and our
> internal network latency.
