> I was looking for a way to retrieve some of the information that is included
> in an {{ivy.xml}} file for a published module when using {{ant}}.
> The {{findrevision}} task allows you to retrieve the latest revision for a
> given module, but doesn't expose any of the other information that is
> available about the module.
> The {{info}} task allows you to get at the information in an {{ivy.xml}} file
> but only works on local files, it doesn't allow you to retrieve the same
> information from a published module.
> I had a quick look at the corresponding source code for these tasks
> ({{org.apache.ivy.ant.IvyInfo}} and {{org.apache.ivy.ant.IvyFindRevision}})
> and it appears relatively easy to merge them so that the {{info}} task can
> run against either a local file or a repository module specified by the
> organisation, module and revision pattern (in the same way as with the
> {{findrevision}} task).
> Doing this would provide better functionality and make the {{findrevision}}
> task obsolete.
> I will try implementing this now myself and provide a patch if I am successful
