Thanks for your reply. Looking at your sidekar project, it appears that you have thought this through throughly and derived some great approaches for your build system. I applaud that.
I spent 30 mins looking into it and figured it's going to take a whole day to put my understanding together. After all that, there could be issues that I have and I will end up coming back to this forum asking for the same and someone else will refer me to their internal library built around Ivy and I will learn that too. At some point later, I will end up learning 2 new libraries but I fear that my original problem is not unresolved. You are now asking me to learn these things which has nothing to do with my original problem -- new macros (500 page macrodef file), Ivy 2.0 features called packager (apart from the already existing concepts around ivy). Think for yourself. I am not a framework developer (I can be but that's not what I do). I'm just a framework/library user and I'm looking for a key abstraction here. I don't know if I want to know the internals or want to read a 200 page manual for something like that. Is what I'm asking that hard? If there is no straight answer, I'd imagine it is and maybe I should go back and stick to copy/paste jars. (Mind you, I use Maven for my hobby projects) but I work for a large corporation that are resistant to change for this exact reason.
