I’m doing a presentation on Ivy for my local Java user group. The intended target audience: developers who are new to Ivy but have hands-on experience with Maven dependency management. Actually, I’m pairing this talk with a colleague’s talk on Maven 3. See: http://seajug.org/
Of course, I’m making sure to use the following page as a resource: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/m2comparison.html But let me throw this out to the community too. Any ideas on how to help developers “get” Ivy at a high level? Key similarities to Maven, differences with Maven, synergies with Maven beyond what that page lists? I know one area I'd like to touch on is the role of repository managers. Are there use cases or lessons learned from experience you’d like me to share? Please, no Maven-bashing. And a broader discussion of build tools beyond Ivy’s place in them is beyond the scope of this brief presentation. Thanks, all.
