Add support for transitive retrieval of source and javadoc artifacts
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1003
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1003
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper
Fix For: 2.0.x, trunk
Currently, IVY only supports retrieving 'jar' artifacts transitively (using the
'transitive' attribute of a dependency), as documented
[here|http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/ivyfile/dependency.html].
It would be very nice if IVY would also support transitive retrieval of the
source and javadoc artifacts.
This would require two extra attributes for the dependency element:
* transitive-source
* transitive-javadoc
To ensure backwards compatibility, these attributes should be optional and
should default to false.
