Type tag in poms not supported
------------------------------
Key: IVY-762
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-762
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Maven Compatibility
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
Reporter: Harald Braumann
Ivy does not support the <type> tag in poms and always uses jar as default. If
there is a dependency on an artifact living in a maven2 repository, and that
artifact has e.g. the following dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>dll</type>
</dependency
Ivy resolves this transitive dependency as ``foo#bar;1.0!bar.jar'' instead of
``foo#bar;1.0!bar.dll''. This severly limits the use of maven2 repositories.
As pointed out by Gilles Scokart on the mailing list, new types can be defined
by maven plug-ins.
In many cases, however, the type just corresponds to the file extension. A
simple mapping of type = extension could be used as a first step to support the
<type> tag.
