I'm quite unexperienced with Ivy's Java APIs. Thus, may anybody confirm that
this solution is the way to go?
So far, I've create a repository descriptor from an upate-site URL, saved the
ivy descriptor to disc (not really needed I guess), and manually downloaded the
jar file to local disc:
RepoDescriptor repo = loadRepositoryDescriptor(url).get();
for (final ModuleDescriptor module : (Set<ModuleDescriptor>){
// save the ivy descriptor of the osgi bundle:
File ivyFile = File.createTempFile(module.getModuleRevisionId().getName() +
"_tmp_", ".xml");
module.toIvyFile(ivyFile);
// download each artifact:
for (final Artifact artifact : module.getAllArtifacts()) {
// the url returned by the artifact always starts with "file:http://";, is
this ok?
URL artifactUrl = new
URL(artifact.getUrl().toExternalForm().replace("file:", ""));
File createTempFile = File.createTempFile("temp", ".jar");
// download the jar to local disc
FileUtil.copy(artifactUrl, createTempFile, new CopyProgressListener() { ...
}
// install somehow into a local ivy repository. How is this done?
// Are there any code examples? Which Method is relevant for doing this?
Thanks,
Marcel
