TeamCity to integrate with Ivy

[Keith Collison <kc...@keithcollison.com>]

I thought this might be of interest to Ivy users.

I've been keeping an eye on TeamCity's evolution, a continuous 
integration server from the folks at JetBrains (the people who make the 
IDEA ide).  Specifically I was interested in its ability to trigger 
dependent builds, akin to the old Cruisecontrol plugin that Jayasoft had 
once offered.  TeamCity's first release had no such feature, but a Jira 
issue was created for it (see http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/TW-669 ).

Well, it looks as if said feature will be implemented in the next EAP.  
What's more, have a look at the comment submitted by Pavel Sher, the 
developer who was responsible for this feature's implementation:

"TeamCity now is compatible with Ivy and it uses Ivy to resolve and 
retrieve artifacts. TeamCity acts as Ivy repository (with some specific 
though) that allows to download artifacts from usual Ant scripts using 
usual Ivy tasks. Also we provide UI for configuring dependencies on 
artifacts of another build configuration. There you can use various 
rules describing from what build to take artifacts (last finished, last 
successful, build number ranges in Ivy syntax and so on)."

Very interesting!  Xavier, were you aware of this?

No, I wasn't aware of this recent update on TeamCity. This is very
interesting, I think we should put a news on Ivy site when the next version
of TeamCity will be out. Thanks for sharing that with us, Keith.
