I am now officially confused. I decided not to way on the guys to resolve
the Artifactory stability issue so I have created the corresponding
repositories on my local file system. All seemed to be working well as I
processed each component (resolve, build, publish). When I finally got the
final element that pulls everything together, I am again having the same
issue as before (Ivy can't resolve some components...sometimes). I also
accidentally discovered that the order in which I have the dependencies
listed has an effect. I am very much hoping that there is simply something
that I have configured incorrectly, because I don't want to think about the
alternative :-(.
I'll attempt to describe the problems I am having by providing the details.
Here is my Ivy settings file.

My original "problem child" is a module called vwt2. Here is its ivy.xml
file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

It appears to build just fine and, with my Ant build directives, I can get
it in each repository and see exactly what I expect to see. Note that
despite having the "status=SNAPSHOT" in the file, my actual publish
directives control the actual status. My "integration" repo has overwrite
enabled since it is always the result of my continuous build system and I
don't need to keep older versions so I have it set to "revision=SNAPSHOT"
with "status=integration". When I publish it to my "milestone" repo, the
revision gets set to an actual value like "2.1.5" and "status=milestone".
When I publish it to my "release" repo, the revision stays the same and
"status=release". When I go look at the artifacts in each repo, I see
exactly what I expect to see. I use this same development pattern for all
components. By the way, when I build each component, I resolve it for the
"build" configuration; keep that in mind as you look at the various ivy.xml
files.
Now I have another module called esbase. Same development pattern and all
looks OK in all of the repos. Here is its ivm.xml file.\<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0"

I have another module called refUi80x48 that depends on (parts of) the
esbase module and (parts of) the vwt2 module. It builds and just fine. Here
is its ivy.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd";>

There are several other very similar modules but I won't bother with them
here. Now when I get to my final element, named esref, things start to get
weird. Here is its ivy.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd";>
<info organisation="esf" module="esref" revision="SNAPSHOT" />
<configurations>
<conf name="default" />
<conf name="build" visibility="private" />
<conf name="package" extends="build" visibility="private" />
</configurations>
<!-- Project Artifacts -->

<artifact name="esref-product" ext="zip" type="package" conf="default" />
</publications>
<!-- Project Dependencies -->
<dependencies>
<dependency name="esbase" rev="latest.release" conf="build->*" />
<dependency name="esref_UI_interface" rev="latest.release" conf="build->*"

<dependency name="refUi80x48" rev="latest.release" conf="build->default" />
<dependency name="refUi64x48" rev="latest.release" conf="build->default" />

<dependency name="imgCache_2x" rev="latest.release" conf="build->default" />
<dependency name="vwt1" rev="latest.release" conf="build->default" />
<dependency name="vwt2" rev="latest.release" conf="build->default" />
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
Notice the first dependency for the esref module; its name is esbase. This
particular file works fine, except that a build cannot find (resolve) the
vwt2 dependency. But, my confusion starts here. If I move the esbase
dependency to the empty line position, then it cannot resolve esbase.
What's with that?? I suspect that there is something about the fact that
this module needs all of esbase (*) and the module "refUi80x48" depends on
only part of on esbase. But I thought that I had made the esbase dependency
in refUi80x48 private. Surely the order of the dependency specifications
should not matter as that could quickly become unmanageable.
So somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. What is wrong with my
configuration? I really want to be wrong because I don't want to think
about the alternative.
