Hi Robert
I don' think that they are mandatory - its just that the recommended 3
repository approach is what is pre-defined in the ivy settings in the
ivy jar.
I found the documentation quite confusing over this, and had to
experiment a lot, but I have separate repositories defined outside of
${user.home}/.ivy2
Which repository you publish to or resolve from is entirely up to you.
I've a set of repositories that I use for testing the dependency
management and another one that I use for team work, and I select the
set of repositories by having a master property which chooses which one
to use.
Also, the default Ivy cache is in ${user.home}/.ivy2 - maybe that's what
you are seeing (just a guess)

Good morning,
The documentation states:
"This default settings mainly consist of 3 kind of repositories...
First, several repositories uses the same root in your filesystem.
Referenced as ${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}, this is by default the
directory .ivy2 in your user home."
Is this to imply that the local, shared, and public repositories are
mandatory?
From my use it seems that local is mandatory since though I set up my
own custom resolvers, caches, and repositories, I still get stuff in
${user.home}.
