Describe how to setup the caches, especailly for multiple ivysettings.xml-s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1049
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1049
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Daniel Dekany
When using more the one ivysettings.xml-s inside the same user account (same
computer), the result is often a lot of "unknown resolver" errors, and other
such mess. The cause is that caches were not set up properly: I guess usually
there should be one repository cache per ivysettings.xml, then one dedicated
resolution cache per ivysettings.xml too (at least, because if parallel builds
use a common ivysettings.xml, then each of them needs its own). These I mostly
deduced from mailing list discussions and experimenting, not from the
documentation. So, these things should be well described, and then linked from
every place that's about wiring ivysettings.xml-s. (Even maybe the "unknown
resolver" error messages could contain a hint about what the problem could be.)
Also, the users should be warned about the importance of lock strategies. (I
know that in principle these could be find out from
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-release/concept.html#cache, but that
description is at best sparse, and the implications are not described. Also
it's not on a very well visible place.)
