Using: <dependency org="org.apache.httpcomponents" name="httpclient" rev="4.1"/>
And: <url name="repo1.maven.org" m2compatible="true"> <ivy pattern="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/> <artifact pattern="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/> </url> where I don't think there are any ivy files. ivy:resolve retrieves the jar and none of it's dependencies. So, ivy does not resolve transitive dependencies in maven repositories? Kendall
