IBiblioResolver has a small bug due to a change in the behaviour between Java5 
and Java6.
After spending quite a lot of time debugging this I finally found where the 
problem is.

I've added some debugging messages to the following methods so that I could 
keep track of what is happening behind the scenes.
* setM2compatible
* setUsepoms
* setPattern
* setRoot
All the debug does it print the name of the method that's getting called and 
print the hash code of the instance (just for the sake of identifying in which 
repository the call happened)

>From the documentation and from the code we can see that the 'usepoms' 
>property defaults to 'true'.
Now let's take a look the following snippet of code extracted from 
IBiblioResolver:
        
        private void updateWholePattern() {
                if (isM2compatible() && isUsepoms()) {
                        
setIvyPatterns(Collections.singletonList(getWholePattern()));
                }
                
setArtifactPatterns(Collections.singletonList(getWholePattern()));
        }

Assuming that setM2compatible(true) happens before a setUsepoms(false) Ivy 
would end up calling setIvyPatterns(...) and therefore setting an invalid Ivy 
pattern (actually it's not invalid but a default one like this: 
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/). After this happens Ivy won't have a chance to 
ever "unset/reset" the Ivy patterns list and because of that any artifact which 
type equals to "ivy" will (try) to be uploaded to Maven Central repository as 
this code extracted from RepositoryResolver highlights:

        public void publish(Artifact artifact, File src, boolean overwrite) 
throws IOException {
                String destPattern;
                if ("ivy".equals(artifact.getType()) && 
!getIvyPatterns().isEmpty()) {
                    destPattern = (String) getIvyPatterns().get(0);
                } else if (!getArtifactPatterns().isEmpty()) {
                    destPattern = (String) getArtifactPatterns().get(0);
                }
                ...
        }

Instead of falling back to getArtifactPatterns (as desired and expected), Ivy 
sees that the List returned by getIvyPatterns() is not empty (due to the bug 
mentioned above) and tries to upload the ivy.xml file to Maven Central (where, 
most of the mortals, can't HTTP PUT) resulting on the following:

        /home/flavio/workspace/IvyTestCase/build.xml:16: impossible to publish 
artifacts for my.test.case#ivy-test;1.0: java.io.IOException: PUT operation to 
URL http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/my/test/case/ivy-test/1.0/ivy-1.0.xml failed 
with status code 405

Enough of side effects, let's get back to the actual bug.

Like I said before this bug happens due to a difference in behaviour between 
Java5 and Java6. The following ant output shows that:

--- Running Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment - 1.6.0_16-b01
[ivy:configure] :: Ivy 2.2.x-local-20090917003317 - 20090917003317 ::

[ivy:configure] setRoot called for repo: 13228332
[ivy:configure] setM2compatible called for repo: 13228332

setUsepoms(false) is called before setM2compatible(true) so the bug is never 
triggered because the condition in IBiblioResolver.updateWholePattern() 
evaluates to false and setIvyPatterns(...) is NEVER called thus resulting on 
getIvyPatterns() returning an empty List later on and because of that 
RepositoryResolver falls back to getArtifactPatterns(). Everything works just 
fine.

--- Running Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition - 1.5.0_21-b01
[ivy:configure] :: Ivy 2.2.x-local-20090917003317 - 20090917003317 :: 
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ ::

[ivy:configure] setUsepoms called for repo: 13078969
[ivy:configure] setRoot called for repo: 13078969
[ivy:configure] setPattern called for repo: 13078969

setM2compatible(true) is called before setUsepoms(false) and the condition 
inside IBiblioResolver.updateWholePattern() evaluates to true causing a cascade 
effect (setIvyPatterns() is called and can't be reseted/unseted, 
RepositoryResolver never falls back to getArtifactPatterns(), etc, etc...). 
Everything falls apart!

So the fact of the XML parser interpreting the arguments in a different order 
totally screw up the logic.

I found a way around this by change the IBiblioResolver.updateWholePattern() to 
this:
        private void updateWholePattern() {
                if (isM2compatible() && isUsepoms()) {
                    
setIvyPatterns(Collections.singletonList(getWholePattern()));
                } else {
                    setIvyPatterns(Collections.EMPTY_LIST);
                }
                
setArtifactPatterns(Collections.singletonList(getWholePattern()));
        }
Basically resetting the list whenever the condition doesn't evaluates to true, 
giving Ivy the chance to "recover" from the wrong state it was set. Not sure if 
that's the right way but it did fix the problem since the IvyPatterns List is 
actually empty when it should, not counting on a weird behaviour of a specific 
JVM version.

I'll be attaching the diff of IBiblioRepository.java and also a sample project 
that can trigger this bug.
