Hi, thanks for your answer once again.
My ivysettings.xml file now looks like: <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver="chain" defaultConflictManager="all" /> <!-- get all revisions without any eviction --> <caches defaultCacheDir="${ivy.cache.dir}/no-namespace" /> <resolvers> <filesystem name="fs1"> <ivy pattern="${dest.repo.dir}/no-namespace/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision](-[classifier]).xml" /> <artifact pattern="${dest.repo.dir}/no-namespace/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" /> </filesystem> <chain name="chain" returnFirst="true" dual="true"> <ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true" pattern="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> Unfortunately, when I run the ant task the result is: [ivy:install] :: installing net.sf.json-lib#json-lib;2.4 :: [ivy:install] :: resolving dependencies :: [ivy:install] found net.sf.json-lib#json-lib;2.4 in chain [ivy:install] :: downloading artifacts to cache :: [ivy:install] :: installing in fs1 :: [ivy:install] published ivy to c:\tmp\ivy-test\repo\no-namespace\net.sf.json-lib\json-lib\ivys\ivy-2.4.xml [ivy:install] :: install resolution report :: [ivy:install] :: resolution report :: resolve 0ms :: artifacts dl 175ms --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | modules || artifacts | | conf | number| search|dwnlded|evicted|| number|dwnlded| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | default | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 || 1 | 0 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- [ivy:install] [ivy:install] :: problems summary :: [ivy:install] :::: WARNINGS [ivy:install] [FAILED ] net.sf.json-lib#json-lib;2.4!json-lib.jar: (0ms) [ivy:install] ==== central: tried [ivy:install] http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/json-lib/json-lib/2.4/json-lib-2.4.jar [ivy:install] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:install] :: FAILED DOWNLOADS :: [ivy:install] :: ^ see resolution messages for details ^ :: [ivy:install] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:install] :: net.sf.json-lib#json-lib;2.4!json-lib.jar [ivy:install] :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ivy:install] [ivy:install] [ivy:install] :: USE VERBOSE OR DEBUG MESSAGE LEVEL FOR MORE DETAILS BUILD FAILED D:\ar-work\tmp\ivy-classifier-test\build.xml:32: Problem happened while installing modules - see output for details The other libraries are downloaded as expected.
