Retrieve ant task doesn't respect dynamic revisions for transient dependencies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-1085
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1085
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Ant
    Affects Versions: 2.0.x, 2.1.0, trunk
            Reporter: Jarosław Wypychowski


let's have modules A, B and C.  A depends on B which depends on C.
I have following versions released : 
 - A - none, depends on B : 0.0.+
 - B - 0.0.1 , depends on C : 0.0.+, released with C rev=0.0.1,
 - C - 0.0.1 and 0.0.2

In order to always use freshest released version matching constraints I tried 
to use resolveMode="dynamic" in resolve task. This worked for resolve (report 
shows correct dependency choosen (C:0.0.2). However retrieve happily ignores it 
and downloads 0.0.1. I'm resolving with resolveId and retrieving with the same 
resolveId.

I tracked this a little bit.
Inside IvyPostResolveTask there is prepareAndCheck method. It does some magic 
which gets down to that ivy in most scenarios (when retrieval is not inline for 
known module and organisation) does a second resolve inside retrieve to get 
configurations for retrieval. This is done in ensureResolve method:
 {code:java}
     protected void ensureResolved(IvySettings settings) {
        String requestedConfigs = getProperty(getConf(), settings, 
"ivy.resolved.configurations");
            
        String[] confs = null;
        if (getResolveId() != null) {
            confs = getConfsToResolve(getResolveId(), requestedConfigs);
        } else {
            confs = getConfsToResolve(getOrganisation(), getModule(), 
requestedConfigs, false);
        }
            
        if (confs.length > 0) {
            IvyResolve resolve = createResolve(isHaltonfailure(), 
isUseOrigin());
            resolve.setFile(getFile());
            resolve.setTransitive(isTransitive());
            resolve.setConf(StringUtils.join(confs, ", "));
            resolve.setResolveId(getResolveId());
            resolve.execute();
        }
    }
{code}
First - could someone please rationalise this resolve inside retrieve ?  
Second - this resolve happily ignores whatever resolveMode I did set 
previously. 

The workaround I did was to extend IvyPostResolveTask with resolveMode 
parameter and put it explicitly in to the ant config, but maybe there is a 
better solution ? 

If the above is accepted I can produce a patch against trunk and post it here.
