------------------------------------------------------------

I kind of fell like webdav alone is an important enough aspect for future ivy 
users that it would be good to have a resolver specifically for it, Jackrabbit 
(http://jackrabbit.apache.org/) is the probably the implementation we should 
use until vfs moves over to using it. 

I guess the question is, is the feature important enough for Ivy to be a 
complete tool that Ivy writes it's own impl for webdav, or wait for commons-vfs 
to have it.

I'd vote that webdav support as a feature of the tool overrides waiting for 
library support.

> Ship ivy with commons-vfs-sandbox.jar, because it provides the webdav support

> 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.
