--------------------------------------

             Summary: create possibility for easy transition from Maven
                 Key: IVY-1414
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1414
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Vyacheslav Sakhno


Maven is declarative and not easy to understand build system. To build several target they must be sequenced and executed together as a part of lifecycle. That slowdown build speed by N times for N targets. The only functionality maven do well is dependency management which is equivalent to Ive functionality. So is does make sense to move to Ant+Ivy instead of Maven.

I suggest to improve support for that migration:
Make Ivy support maven dependency format: easy to implement for one developer but removes 1 hour hand work for thousands developers over the world.
Also make support of reading dependencies from maven repo and publishing the to it.

Though it is easy work to do it makes Ive more attractive for transition from Maven.
