Hi all,
is there a way (via ant task) to request retrieving of all artifact types 
except some subset? I want to retrieve some specific types using a specialized 
pattern and all the others using a common pattern. Hence currently I have two 
retrieve commands and each of them specifies explicitly which artifact types to 
retrieve (using the 'type' attribute). However these commands are in a shared 
antfile and I do not have a control over all possible types that may be used by 
different projects which invoke this antfile. Consequently when a new artifact 
type is added to the repository, I need to update this common file which is not 
comfortable and may imply problems if some type is missing in the command.

I did some research and haven't found a way to achieve this. However, it seems 
extremely easy to implement such feature so I'm thinking about contributing a 
simple addition to Ivy. But first I'd like to make sure that I did not miss 
some easy way to accomplish this task.

Thanks for answers.
David
