PerfectCarl commented on IVY-1003:
----------------------------------

Is that issue considered for future relases? 
I have the issue too.

Has anyone tested the patch with recent versions (like 2.4)

> 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.
