Hi All, Other things have come to light that might have some bearing on why this happens. It seems that in this specific example the spring-amqp pom.xml has excluded the sun jars but this seems to get ignored when resolved through ivy. Adding the exclusions from the pom again myself in ivy seems to do the trick.
Any idea why this would happen? When using gradle (which afaik uses ivy behind the scenes) I NEVER have this problem. Another thing is we are using ivy 2.0.0.

Currently external dependencies are configured like this: <dependency conf="jar->default" name="spring-context" org="org.springframework" rev="3.0.5.RELEASE"/> Which seems to work well however once in awhile this will bring in weird dependencies that I really cannot find in the maven dependency graph for the projects. For example, <dependency conf="jar->default" name="spring-amqp" org="org.springframework.amqp" rev="1.0.0.M2"/> will crap out looking for proprietary sun jars (which is weird as they're mentioned nowhere in the poms) and changing the conf to jar->compile will stop trying to bring those weird dependencies in, yet avoid resolving other things (such as slf4j). Any help or pointers would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, James
