[jira] [Commented] (IVYDE-333) IvyDE does not resolve conflicts between versions of the same package

["Sebastiano Vigna (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVYDE-333?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13540955#comment-13540955 ] 

Sebastiano Vigna commented on IVYDE-333:
----------------------------------------

We actually found an easy workaround. By carefully listing in ivy.xml lower-level, most-recent artifacts first, we can alter the list of jars reported by IvyDE so that the newer ones are on the top. The important thing to do is to place the reference to a recent snapshot before any dependency that could load a previous version. We always have two versions around though, and this could cause falsely successful compilations if a class has been dropped in a more recent snapshot but still lives in the older version.

> When multiple jars for the same artifact are present, Ivy resolves them with the most recent version, but IvyDE does not. 
> Our LAW project has a dependency on fastutil (v1356767300) that is resolved with fastutil-v1356767300.jar (a snapshot uploaded to our local server). However, the dependencies of LAW (e.g., DSI Utilities) have a hardwired dependency on fastutil (fastutil-6.5.0.jar). When we use Ivy from the command line, it resolves the conflict and we just find fastutil-v1356767300.jar in the jars directory. However, when we resolve with IvyDE from within Eclipse and look at the list of jars, *both* versions of fastutil are listed. Depending on which jar appears first in the list we get the correct class or not.
