Steve Loughran commented on IVY-643:
------------------------------------
I would -1 any attempt to ship a product with a sandbox dependency. Other
projects have been burned by that; someone ships their own version, nobody
wants to support it. Push the commons-vfs team to create some kind of tagged
release of the vfs libraries before shipping.
> Ship ivy with commons-vfs-sandbox.jar, because it provides the webdav support
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: IVY-643
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-643
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-2
> Reporter: Ivan "Rambius" Ivanov
>
> The commons-vsf project has been split into commons-vfs.jar and
> commons-vfs-sandbox.jar. The webdav support is provided by
> commons-vfs-sandbox.jar, see http://commons.apache.org/vfs/index.html : "Due
> to some technical reasons we had to move the webdav and jcifs (smb)
> filesystem to the sandbox. So if you need one of these filesystems you have
> to build VFS manually."
> Ivy does not come with commons-vfs-sandbox.jar and I believe it should in
> order to prevent its users from the hassle of building commons-vfs
> themselves. I myself built it from commons-vfs 1.0 source.
