Re: making dependency-graphs

[Felix Drueke <fd...@orga-systems.com>]

Thank you Shawn for the hint.

My problem is fixed.
Just for the record (in case someone else has the same problem):
I hadn't defined  "<ivy pattern=..../>" in my ivysettings so ivy didn't
fetch the corresponding dependencies for a dependent artifact from the
repository.

Cheers,
Felix

I think you will have better luck using the example ivy.xml files and ivysetting.xml files in the test directory of the ivy SVN repo itself.  Inside test/repositories/branches are some settings files and 2 modules with various branches and versions.  bar depends on foo so running a report on bar should give you a graph that has both bar and foo inside.  You could fabricate a third module and make foo be dependent on it (by modifying its ivy.xml file) so that a report on bar would give you foo and transitively give you your third module.

I don't remember exactly where I got dot.exe from on the internet, but the dotExecutable is an ANT variable since it is different depending on which platform ant is running on.
