Hi all, when building an artifact with maven, IIRC the default behavior will be that all downloaded dependencies will be in the .m2/repositories directory, upon rebuild they don't need to be re-downloaded.
I was trying to accomplish something similar: when builing something in my build, ivy needs to download the artifacts and they'll be in the local cache afterwards. But after cleaning this out, they would be gone again and another clean build would download them again. My approach was to <ivy:install/> the dependencies, but this task takes an explicit combination of org/module, so I'd need to iterate over the dependencies. Or - I'd install the just created artifact plus its dependencies transitively, but if the build fails before, there is no dependency to install. Any suggestions here? Regards, -Alex
