Retrieve after resolve feature does not clean target directory first
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVYDE-105
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-105
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.0.alpha1
Environment: Eclipse 3.4
Reporter: Sébastien Launay
I use the 'Retrieve after resolve' feature in order to populate the directory
web/WEB-INF/lib
in my project using pattern 'web/WEB-INF/lib/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]'.
This directory is used by the servlet engine in order to load librairies, but
the directory can
contain multiple artifact of the same module (mylib-1.0.jar and mylib-1.1.jar)
or old dependencies
if you update your ivy.xml and then resolve again.
I know that removing files based on a pattern is dangerous and not trivial.
Removing files below the longest path without '[' may be a good alternative
(with an optional check box "Clean directory").
Another solution is to keep the previous retrieved artifacts and removing them
if still
present just before the new retrieve.
