I saw that the example in src/examples/go-ivy/build.xml also mention
the version (and still jayasoft).


Yes, but we have a circular problem here: go-ivy need a version available on
the net to run, so we can't update it to the released version before the
release is published... OTOH, releasing without updating to the new version
is not a very good thing. We have the same problem for Ivy build itself. So,
if anyone has an idea, I take it!
