Sébastien Launay commented on IVYDE-105:
----------------------------------------
Indeed, i had the same problem some months ago but i was able to quickly fix
this thanks
to the documentation.
I do not know if the same component is used in ant and IvyDE for this task but
i have
some artifact of type 'resource' (not 'jar' or 'source') is retrieving in my
WEB-INF/lib, not
just 'jar' type artifact.
I can create another issue for this point as this is not directly related to
the current issue.
> 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: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0.alpha1
> Environment: Eclipse 3.4
> Reporter: Sébastien Launay
> Assignee: Nicolas Lalevée
>
> 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.
