The documentation is clear how a resolver will handle a retrieve.  It will 
check each artifact pattern one by one until it finds one that works to get 
each artifact.  However, the documentation is not clear how a resolver handles 
a publish.  My goal is to have my jar files published to a jar directory (that 
is good for all platforms) and to have my native dll's and so's be published 
into a subdirectory with that platform name.  I tried using configurations as 
my platforms, but I noticed a post that stated that isn't supported during the 
publish phase (to use the [conf] in the artifact pattern during a publish).  
The post suggested to use extra attributes instead.  That does work, except it 
works on all artifacts, not just the ones that need it.

In other words, my jar artifacts do not have a platform extra attribute.  My 
dll's and so's do have an extra platform attribute.  Here is my resolver:

                                <filesystem name="local">
                                                <ivy 
pattern="${ivy.local.root}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
                                                <artifact 
pattern="${ivy.local.root}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
                                                <artifact 
pattern="${ivy.local.root}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[type]/[platform]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
                                </filesystem>

I want the second pattern to be used for those artifacts that have a platform 
specified and the first pattern to be used for those that don't.  I can't get 
this to work.  Whichever pattern is listed first will be used for all 
artifacts.  It seems that this separation of native binaries is a common 
requirement.

My two thoughts would be to try:

1.       set the platform to empty string for the jars

2.       write my own resolver just for publishing
