According to this doc:
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/settings/resolvers.html#common
the name attribute of the resolver is required.
Unfortunately for me for a day or so, Ivy does not error out (I'm using the
ant "install" task) when that attribute is missing from one of the
resolvers in my chain. Instead, it throws a NPE:
problem occurred while resolving dependency:
> org.springframework#spring-parent;3.1.1.RELEASE {} with null:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:432)

Enhancement request would be for that validation to happen and a nice
message be spit out instead of waiting for the NPE.
Thanks for a great tool!
Zac.
