Hi, I think this is a big issue that need to be resolved some day. The good features of ivy are hardwired to the use of ANT. A lot of documented features are implemented directly within the ANT-extension of Ivy. This prevents them from being used standalone. As an example using Ant variables to store state.
I tried to write an Ivy extension for Apache buildr using the Java-API. In the end I had to go through ANT (using Antwrap) because all the cool stuff you want to use with Ivy is in the ANT targets. A lot of Refactoring needs to be done, so that the features can be used as API and Ant is only one interface to use Ivy. I hope Ivy changes in this direction, so that it is easy to choose a different build application with troubles.

Some of the mails i see in this list show that this is possible. But i couldn't find a location where these APIs are listed. Could someone point me to it? -Jaikiran -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Programmatic-use-of-Ivy-tp25973730p25973730.html Sent from the ivy-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
