Contribution: dependencies task
Attached is code and unit tests for a task which will download and
manage dependencies from a maven-style remote repository. The
unit-tests contain detailed descriptions of the functionality:
Here is an example:
<dependencies pathId=all.jars>
<dependency group="rhino" version="1.5R4.1"/>
<dependency group="junit" version="3.8.1" if="use.junit"/>
<dependency group="nekohtml" version="0.8.1" />
</dependencies>
This will download to a local cache if necessary the rhino, junit, and
nekohtml jars and define an ant-path which contains them and can be
used in a javac/java task. Specifying a "fileSetId" attribute on the
dependencies task would define a fileset, as would be useful for a
copy or jar task.
Each dependency must specify its group and version, and optionally
type and artifact, which have the same meanings as in maven. That is,
the file will be identitied as
<group>/<type>s/<artifact>-<version>.<type>. If not specified,
artifact defaults to the same as group, and type defaults to "jar".
Alternately, the name attribute can override the name computed from
artifact and version.
Each dependency may specify an "if" and/or "unless" attribute to make
its inclusion in the path/fileset (and download) dependent on the
values of the properties.

Not at all, it's meant to also do what your task does.
"The Depot Project deals with integrated tools for automating
downloading (with security checks), publishing (new artifacts) and
managing the contents of the apache repository. It also focuses on
additional tools for manipulating metadata of the artifacts.
"

It's OT on this list, so if you are interested we could talk over at
depot-dev@incubator.apache.org .

I must have missed something. The page you cited shows projects to get
the *latest* version of dependencies, but not specified versions. Can
you tell me more about Incubator Depot?

If you are interested, Incubator Depot
http://incubator.apache.org/depot/ has a similar tasl and goals, and we
could work together.

Russell: This sounds cool but would be considered to
be an external task. If you have or can find a place
to host it we will be happy to add it to the External
Tools and Tasks section on the Ant site.
Thanks,
Matt
