Thanks for your answer, Nicolas - sorry I was not able to react in time, it took longer than I expected to get back to this issue.
I added the change proposed by Nicolas and now I can indeed use properly the [organisation] placeholder instead of an hard coded 'my.company'. Also, to "unhardcoded" the extension type (ext), I apply the following strategy : <resolvers> <chain name="my-company"> <url name="my-company"> <ivy pattern=" http://repo.corp.my.company/nexus/content/repositories/hosted-snapshot/[organisation]/[module]_2.8.0/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> <artifact pattern=" http://repo.corp.my.company/nexus/content/repositories/hosted-snapshot/[organisation]/[module]_2.8.0/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> </url> </chain> </resolvers> And I configure the file extension on the dependencies: <dependencies> <dependency org="my.company" name="app1" rev="0.2.0-SNAPSHOT"> <artifact name="app1" type="zip"/> </dependency> <dependency org="my.company" name="app2" rev="0.3.2-SNAPSHOT"> <artifact name="app2" type="zip"/> </dependency> </dependencies> Now, I feel my Ivy configuration is "clean". If some of you disagree, please let me know :) Thanks for the help ! 2011/1/4 Nicolas Lalevée <nicolas.lale...@hibnet.org> > > Le 4 janv. 2011 à 18:24, Romain Pelisse a écrit : > > > Hi Ivy users, > > > > I used Ivy as part of my deployment tools.
