Add branch comparison to workspace resolver
-------------------------------------------
Key: IVYDE-234
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-234
Project: IvyDE
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: workspace resolver
Affects Versions: 2.0.0.final
Reporter: Jeffrey M. Metcalf
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.1.0
Currently IvyDE uses the org, module, (and revision by default) when resolving
workspace dependencies. I propose adding branch as an optional attribute to be
matched in the workspace dependency code. For consistency with the current
workspace dependency configuration, I would add an option to ignore branch in
the comparison similar to the option for revision. As with revision, the
default would be unchecked. This means that the default would be to compare
branch attributes when identifying project dependencies, which helps guarantee
the correct and most appropriate dependency match. The addition of the branch
attribute in the comparison helps in the case where more than one project
exists on the same module in the Eclipse workspace and another project defines
a latest.status dependency on that module. The current revision comparison
code fails to detect the difference between the dependent workspace projects.
Therefore by specifying a value for branch in the dependency and module
descriptor, a correct match is found.
