Hi,
I ran into a situation where some dependencies are triggered based on
how another one is resolved.
Spring 2.5 has reorganized some of the modules. So what was in 2.0's
spring-hibernate3 will be in 2.5's spring-orm, and what was in 2.0's
spring-dao will be in 2.5's spring-tx. I have a library project that
I'm hoping to support both 2.0 and 2.5 for a while, so I have this in
the ivy.xml:
<dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-hibernate3"
rev="[2.0, 2.6[" />
which of course will always resolve to the latest 2.0.x because there
is never going to be a 2.5 version for it. The bigger problem is I
can't find a sane way to specify the replacement, spring-orm, as a
dependency so that the whole thing works with both spring 2.0 and 2.5.
The condition involved here is probably more complex than a version
switch. It would look something like "use spring-hibernates if
spring-core is resolved to 2.0, but use spring-orm if spring-core is
resolved to 2.5."
Any thoughts?
