Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5464:
-------------------------------------

If we're prohibited to include external jars in our repos and thus source code, how are we going to deal with:
ant-*.jar
ivy*.jar

> Currently Apache Ivy is used to facilitate downloads of specific external jar files for Activemq, mySQL, postgreSQL configuration and Sonar and Cobertura functions. 
> However, Apache Ivy can also be for easier management of the standard jars OFBiz is dependent on, in
> - various framework areas
> - various base and special purpose applications/components.
> Applying more ivy functionality will decrease the load on commiters regarding maintenance of  (and upgrading) external jars used  and required licence information.
