> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1003
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
> Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper
> Attachments: IVY-1003-r835571.patch, workaround in ant.zip

>
> 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.
