Or is there some other > place when ivy would implicitly use the pom file? It doesn't really depend on the resolver... well, ibiblio resolver in m2compatible mode actually attempts to find a module descriptor using the pom extension, so you don't have to do anything special. But if you configure any resolver with a pattern for "ivy" ending with .pom, it will use the pom parser to parse it. The name "ivy" for the pattern is confusing, that's why I suggested to accept "descriptor" or "metadata" as an alternative. But it already works like that, you can use any module descriptor format in any resolver, you just have to supply the good parser (ivy files and poms being supported out of the box, but you can plug your own).
