Guy Mahieu updated IVY-912:
---------------------------

    Description: 
I'm writing an IDE plugin, and I need to access the filepath of a resolved 
dependency to add to the dependencies of the IDE project.
To do this, I needed to use the DefaultRepositoryCacheManager directly since 
the getArchiveFileInCache(artifact) method is not on the interface.

Was this an intentional decision, if so: how should I lookup the archive for 
the artifact?
If not, can this method become part of the interface so the usability of the 
API increases?

Small code snippet to illustrate the current API usage: {noformat} if 
(repositoryCacheManager instanceof DefaultRepositoryCacheManager)   {
  DefaultRepositoryCacheManager defaultRepositoryCacheManager = 
(DefaultRepositoryCacheManager) repositoryCacheManager;
  
projectDependencies.add(defaultRepositoryCacheManager.getArchiveFileInCache(artifact).getAbsolutePath());
         
}  
{noformat}
