We have a standard resolver where 90% of our projects exist in the correct 
place.
10% of projects are in the same filesystem but not standardly placed.
We cannot change the place they exist at.

So anything unstandard is located via a url="file://....." link for the 
artifact.

We wish to use there origin location rarther than the place in the cache.

Thanks for the help.

The problem is that after resolve, Ivy requires all your artifacts to be 
accessible as java.io.File objects, so a URL is not possible, unless it's a 
file URL. Could you detail your use case?
