Hi evrebody;
I' am telling my-self that my first message was not enough explained.
The main question is: is the Main.main(args) designed to deal with the
ivy from another
java Program, or there is another way(s) ?
Feel free to request further explanation, if you want to clarify some
aspect this use case.
Reagrds,

Hi all,
We are working on a project for managing add-ons on the apache ofbiz
framework. an add-on is a specific functional or technical
modifications, provided as a set of patches.
The add-ons-manager is designed to :
--> pack a collection of patches to form an add-on .
--> install and uninstall add-ons.
--> provide information on the installed add-ons for a given ofbiz
instance.
The add-ons will be kept in a public repository accessed using http://
in the form of zip archives, and the use of an add-on may depends on
one or more add-ons. Our needs in terms of dependency management are,
at least for the moment, limited to : 1- Given an add-on name try to
retrieve the latest version from the repository, which is a zip
archive that may contain a description file (ivy.xml for example). all
required dependencies declared in that description file must be
retrieved also. I started trying the use of Ivy by the Use of the Main
Class in side my addon-manager code(Main.main(new
String[]{"-setting","path to setting","-ivy","path to ivy.xml"})) and
i have the following notes : -I did modify the code to comment the
System.exit(0) because it terminates the JVM. -When copying the
retrieved add-on(always zip archives) in the local cache directory,
Ivy change the zip archive into jar archive.
Qusetions :
-From your experience with Ivy, is it a good choice for this situation ?
-am I using the Main in the good way, if yes how can i avoid the
termination of my JVM by ivy ?
-can i invoke the resolve or retrieve process using the Main class?
-How to generate a report of dependencies using the main class always ?
Best regards
