Gilles Scokart commented on IVY-651:
------------------------------------
I don't think downloading it automatically is right.
AFAIK Maven didn't do it (To be verified).
In some case, it is a zip, a tgz,, etc. Maybe in some case it could even be a
jarjar. How knows?
My understanding of the downloadURL is that this field is filled when the
person that publish the pom is not allowed to redistribute the module or when
the person that publish the pom want to force the user to download himself the
module.
> Ivy should be able to handle downloadUrl in POM

> 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
