hello,
I am new to archiva and I am struggling. It seems really hard to set
things up so that my ant build with ivy will work. I can only get it to
work when I tell ivy that the repo is an established maven2 mirror.
I want to have my own repo mgd by archiva. I tried setting one by hand
but I couldn't get it to work and even if I could, it would be really
tedious to set up every pom and jar by hand. Not to mention that to do
so would involve having all the poms and jars so that they could be
uploaded to archiva in the first place. So I thought I would use wget to
download a complete repo from maven2.atlassian.com. This download
eventually completed and all the poms and jars were there. I configured
apache so that the repo was available via my local web server. I can
browse this repo just fine. I then changed my ivy config to point to
these pages using this directive:
<ibiblio name="mavenProxy" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true"
root="http://defiant/maven2/"; pattern="${artifact.pattern}" />
(defiant is the name of my machine). This gave an interesting result in
ivy. It initially said it resolved everything, giving successful
download messages for all the jars. It populated the ivy cache as well.
But then it gave an error for every jar, as shown by the sample below:
[ivy:resolve] module not found: org.apache.commons#commons-parent;9

[ivy:resolve]

[ivy:resolve] -- artifact
com.thoughtworks.xstream#xstream;1.2.2!xstream.jar:
I have a feeling that this is because I tried to cheat and tell ivy that
I am using an archiva repo when actually they are just web pages I
downloaded from atlassians archiva repo. So I suppose I should populate
my own repo based on the web pages I now have. But how do I do this as a
bulk operation? Can anybody help please? I am using version 1.1.3 of
archiva and version 2.0.0-rc1 of ivy.
