Actually I think ivy:install somehow maps this into the generated ivy.xml: <conf name="master" visibility="public" description="contains only the artifact published by this module itself, with no transitive dependencies">
What is the reason for choosing this particular name to represent this particular configuration? Does it provide compatibility with Maven or is it something Ivy-related? -----Original Message----- From: Gilles Scokart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 12:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What is special about the master configuration The page http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/dependency.ht ml describe a transitive attribute to put in the ivy file for 1 specific dependency.
