Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-748:
----------------------------------
The bin distrib already use a pretty similar mechanism, just less user
friendly: in the bin distrib we provide ivy.jar, and a build.xml using ivy.jar
to download the dependencies described in the ivy.xml. This requires to have
Ant installed as well.
But I like your idea of a webstart installer based on Ivy itself to download
the dependencies required per profile.
> Exclude Ant jar from bin-with-deps distribution format

> Currently we package in bin-with-deps distribution all Ivy dependencies,
> including ant jar. But this doesn't make sense, people who want to use Ivy
> with Ant will first install Ant, then Ivy. So we should exclude ant jar from
> our bin-with-deps distributions format.
