Quick rundown for using Ivy with multiple projects?
Can somebody give me a quick rundown regarding the usage of Ant+Icy
when having multiple projects in the same repository. I'm a little bit
confusing regarding how to define the dependency.
Let's assume that Project AB has the two modules A and B:
Parent AB
|-Project A
| |-src
| |-build.xml
| \-ivy.xml
|-Project B
| |-src
| |-build.xml
| \-ivy.xml
\-build.xml
I'm unsure how to make B depending on A, and how to correctly declare
that dependency in the ivy.xml of B. Do I need to define a custom
resolver which is checking the other project? Can somebody give me a
quick rundown on what is the best way to do this? Or should I structure
my project differently?

I think I figured it out in a half-way sane way.
What I have now is a project looking like this:
Project
|-modules
| |-ModuleA
| | |-build.xml
| | \-ivy.xml
| \-ModuleB
| |-build.xml
| \-ivy.xml
|-build.xml
|-build-module.xml
\-ivysettings.xml
build.xml is basically only forwarding to each module, as you've shown
me. build-module.xml is the common build.xml for every module which is
imported by every module.
The ivysettings.xml contains a custom resolver chain which checks the
other modules for artifacts, before asking ibiblio for them:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="default"/>
<resolvers>
<chain name="default">
<filesystem name="local" checkmodified="true">
<ivy pattern="${modulesdir}/[artifact]/target/routing-[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
<artifact pattern="${modulesdir}/[artifact]/target/routing-[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
"modulesdir" in this case is a variable pointing to my "modules"
directory. That means that if B depends on A, ivy will copy the build
artifact from A to B when resolving the dependencies.
So far this seems to work well enough, but obviously requires A to be
build before B can be resolve it, which might or might not turn out to
be a problem. Any comments? Did I miss or violate something?

Yes. What I was looking for was some way to specify "B depends on the
*source* of A located over *there*". I've now so far managed to tell
Ivy "B depends on the *jar* of A located over there".
As it comes to building, I guess I could mimic that behavior through
the Ant files, but it feels a little bit clunky because the top-level
Ant tasks would then work differently. For example, a resolve would
always need to compile A instead of simply doing a resolve.
Additionally, I have the odd feeling that I missed the easy solution
completely, because I can't be the first one trying to do a
multi-module structure like this in Ivy.

Hello Robert 'Bobby' Zenz,
I too have been slow to respond for good reason. I had a family crisis that
prevented me from responding.
I believe I now better understand the provided only adds jars if not
already there??

Thanks for the fast response, sorry for my slow response.
This is what I needed on the top-level, but how do I reference
correctly project A in project B? Assuming that B depends on A?
I guess I need to set up a resolver, but so far I have a hard time
understanding what exactly I need to do.

And of course, you then just do:
ant clean deploy
from the top level directory and that will then run those targets for
all sub-projects.

It's a bit too late here, so I'll keep this short for now. In one of the
projects that we have, which has a similar structure, we use Ivy's
buildlist task[1] to first create the ordered list of projects that need
to be built and then invoke on that ordered list. So the top level
build.xml will have something like ("clean" and "deploy" are just
example common targets in all these projects):
<target name="build-modules-list">
<ivy:buildlist reference="modules">
<fileset dir="${basedir}" includes="*/**/build.xml"/>
</ivy:buildlist>
</target>
<target name="clean" depends="build-modules-list">
</target>
<target name="deploy" depends="build-modules-list">
<!-- invoke on each sub-project, in the "modules" reference -->
<subant buildpathref="modules">
<target name="clean"/>
<target name="deploy"/>
</subant>
</target>
