Support 'descriptor' element in resolvers patterns instead of only 'ivy'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-789
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-789
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Reporter: Xavier Hanin
Ivy supports pluggable module descriptor formats, two of them being supported
by default: ivy files and maven 2 poms.
When one configures a dependency resolver and want to set the pattern for
module descriptors, the only available syntax is to put an 'ivy' element. This
is confusing for users who want to configure the pattern for other module
descriptor format such as poms. Supporting a more generic name like
'descriptor' would thus be a nice improvement.
This could be a good opportunity to also add the support for an attribute
specifying the type of module descriptor expected for the pattern. Something
like:
{noformat}
<descriptor pattern="[module]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" type="pom" />
{noformat}
would be better than
{noformat}
<ivy pattern="[module]/[module]-[revision].pom" />
{noformat}
