It would be nice if ant could be able to download an entire
antlib with its
dependencies, using ivy of curse ;-). And that, without
having to install
anything else than the basic ant installation.
Yes, that sounds interesting.
But you have to keep an eye on licenses ... Ant's fetch.xml could
download the optional libraries ...
which, for ant1.7.0 does a <get> of the m2 tasks...for ant1.7.1 we could
move to ivy and/or bundle ivy out the box.
So just dreaming more ...
<project xmlns:antunit="ivy:http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/antunit/";>
<antunit:assertTrue/>
</project>
- the new "ivy:" protokol (compared to "antlib:") loads the AutoLoad
configuration
from the given URL+"autoload.xml"
* http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/antunit/autoload.xml
<autoload ivyconfig="ivy-config.xml"
antlib="org.apache.ant.antunit"/>
- then it "installs" all the required jars specified in the specified
Ivy
configuration file into ~/.ant/antlibs (thats the repository Ivy uses
here)
- it loads the antlib.xml as defined
or, we take the antlib url
antlib://org.example.something.tasks:
and search in the repo for a mapping file
org/example/something/tasks/mapping.xml
that can redir to the artifact that contains the project (here
org/example/something/something.jar)
