Ivy supports resolving timestamped snapshots, but with the following limitation: the specified pattern on your ibiblio resolver must end with: [organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext] This is not the case in your setup, so Ivy won’t try to find your timestamped snapshot. Updating your pattern to this one should solve your problem; update the definition of your archiva-snapshots repository … Read more
Thanks a lot guys for your valuable comments. You are all right. Jar files must be in WEB-INF/lib. Or you can tell Eclipse that it can find the jars in additional location and not just WEB-INF/lib. How do we do that? Right click the project and select properties. Now go to Deployment Assembly. Now select … Read more
Use a settings file with properties controlling the Nexus credentials: <ivysettings> <property name=”repo.host” value=”default.mycompany.com” override=”false”/> <property name=”repo.realm” value=”Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager” override=”false”/> <property name=”repo.user” value=”deployment” override=”false”/> <property name=”repo.pass” value=”deployment123″ override=”false”/> <credentials host=”${repo.host}” realm=”${repo.realm}” username=”${repo.user}” passwd=”${repo.pass}”/> .. .. </ivysettings> When you run the build you can then specify the true username and password: ant -Drepo.user=mark -Drepo.pass=s3Cret … Read more
This kind of artifact is an OSGi bundle, typically produced using the maven-bundle-plugin which is part of Apache Felix. The plugin treats all the classes available to your module (the module’s own classes, classes provided by dependencies, other classes on the classpath) as one giant set, then lets you select a subset of those classes … Read more
The ivysettings.xml file is located by default in the same directory as the ivy.xml file. Alternative locations can be specified using the ivy settings task Project structure 3rd party dependencies located in the lib directory. $ tree . |– build.xml |– ivysettings.xml |– ivy.xml |– lib | |– junit-4.10.jar | |– slf4j-api-1.6.4.jar | `– slf4j-simple-1.6.4.jar … Read more
It can be quite useful sometimes to get the latest release – if for example you release often your own dependencies. You can get the latest version like compile “junit:junit:+” or better specify at least the major version like compile “junit:junit:4.+”
Here’s my standard Java build file that creates an executable jar. The objective is to manage project specific stuff via a combination of ANT properties and an ivy.xml file for the 3rd-party dependencies. <project xmlns:ivy=”antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant” name=”demo” default=”build”> <property name=”src.dir” location=”src”/> <property name=”build.dir” location=”build”/> <property name=”dist.dir” location=”dist”/> <property name=”dist.jar” location=”${dist.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar”/> <property name=”dist.main.class” value=”HelloWorld”/> <target name=”retrieve”> <ivy:resolve/> … Read more
You need to add an ivysettings.xml file with the following repositories listed (resolvers in ivy speak) <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver=”chain”/> <resolvers> <chain name=”chain”> <ibiblio name=”central” m2compatible=”true”/> <ibiblio name=”example” m2compatible=”true” root=”http://example.com/m2/”/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> In my opinion it makes more sense to separate the dependency declaration (ivy.xml) from the mechanism of retrieval (settings.xml). This is not needed … Read more
ANT cannot find the ivy jar. Needs to be downloaded, extracted, and the ivy-x.y.z.jar placed into one of the following locations: $ANT_HOME/lib $HOME/.ant/lib Enabling ivy Ivy is packaged as an antlib, so to enable it you need to do the following 1) Declare the ivy namespace at the top of the build file <project ….. … Read more
I would suggest restructuring your configurations as follows: <ivy-module version=”2.0″> <info organisation=”com.myspotontheweb” module=”demo”/> <configurations> <conf name=”compile” description=”Libraries needed only for compilation” /> <conf name=”runtime” description=”Libraries only needed at runtime” extends=”compile” /> <conf name=”test” description=”Libraries only needed for testing” extends=”runtime” /> </configurations> <dependencies> <dependency org=”net.java.dev” name=”jvyaml” rev=”0.2.1″ conf=”runtime->default” /> <dependency org=”org.apache.solr” name=”solr-core” rev=”3.6.0″ conf=”runtime->default” /> </dependencies> … Read more
