All: I have finally managed to successfully integrate at least a beginner's setup for Ivy into my project, after a bit of head-banging. However, another problem has arisen.
What really helped me was that since I was using Spring, I was able to build the Spring codebase, which enabled me to see a real project with Ivy in action. That seemed to help a lot (also, a bunch of additional JAR files were downloaded in the process, which went immediately into my cache). Now I am getting the imports I need (and some I don't actually need) using ivy:retrieve in Ant. No objection to having the license files, but I really don't need the *-source-*.jar files (which are, however, in the cache, and it's not such a bad thing, having them). I'm not quite understanding how not to retrieve these files during my build. Any suggestions would be welcome. David Sills
