In the quick start tutorial:
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/tutorial.html
it says to cd to:
src/example/hello-ivy
but it doesn't work because the maven repository reorganized their
directory structure.
so the src/example/hello-ivy/ivy.xml in the download bundle is
<ivy-module version="1.0">
<info organisation="apache" module="hello-ivy"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="apache" name="commons-lang" rev="2.1"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
but should be
<ivy-module version="1.0">
<info organisation="apache" module="hello-ivy"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.1"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
after this change the tutorial will work.
