[jira] Commented: (IVY-1003) Add support for transitive retrieval
of source and javadoc artifacts
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1003?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12662938#action_12662938 ]
Erik-Berndt Scheper commented on IVY-1003:
------------------------------------------
At the moment, transitive retrieval of javadoc and source jars is only possible by manually adding all jars to the ivy.xml file, which is tedious and error-prone.

> Key: IVY-1003
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1003
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
> Reporter: Erik-Berndt Scheper
>
> Currently, IVY only supports retrieving 'jar' artifacts transitively (using the 'transitive' attribute of a dependency), as documented [here|http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/ivyfile/dependency.html].
> It would be very nice if IVY would also support transitive retrieval of the source and javadoc artifacts.
> This would require two extra attributes for the dependency element:
> * transitive-source
> * transitive-javadoc
> To ensure backwards compatibility, these attributes should be optional and should default to false.
