Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-651:
----------------------------------
Not sure how this should be handled. In the example you give the downloadURL is
the URL of the jar. Is it always the case? I've tried to get information from
maven documentation, but I'm not sure this is always the case:
http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-model/maven.html#class_distributionManagement
http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Distribution_Management
In the second link the example is confusing. If the way to handle the URL can
be clarified, actually implementing a solution would be pretty easy: we already
have an url attribute on artifact, so it would just be a matter of pom to ivy
conversion (parsing), no need to modify Ivy engine.

> Key: IVY-651
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-651
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-2
> Reporter: Nat
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> In Maven2, sometimes there is no jar files in the specified location but the
> downloadUrl is specified in POM. Ivy should be able to redirect to download
> the correct jar files from the specified location.
> For example,
> http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/bea/wlplatform/commonj-twm/1.1/commonj-twm-1.1.pom
