Hi All, Recently, I needed to retrieve log4j non-transitively from Maven 2 central (because the log4j pom states dependencies on jarfiles that are not stored there). The problem is that the transitivity relationship is defined only in the ivy:resolve task, not in the ivy.xml file. So it seemed impossible to resolve some dependencies transitively and others non-transitively in the same ivy:resolve call.
Somehow I stumbled upon a kludge of specifying a master->master configuration mapping (which worked just fine). How and why does this work? Can I rely upon it to work in every situation, is it possible that it might break in some future version of Ivy? I can no longer find the origin of this advice, so I return to the mailing list to ask if anyone knows.
