Ability to install multiple modules with a single install task
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-1182
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1182
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Ant
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
         Environment: Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64, Ant 1.7.1, Java 1.6.0_15-b03 64-Bit
            Reporter: Andrew


I would like the ability to specify multiple modules to install at once with the ivy:install task in Ant, and to say 'don't overwrite and don't fail if present', which achieves a few things. First, I'm installing more than one module here (roughly 20), and I'm not super-happy about the fact that I have to specify one install task for each, as that typically results in multiple versions of projects being installed (Apaches commons is especially prone to that). Now, this might sometimes be a good thing, but I know that all the modules I'm installing are going to be used by a single project, and it's just annoying to have more than one installed. The other problem is that each install task will install another copy of a library that already exists with the same version (e.g. commons-logging 1.1.1), and while that's not a problem while developing the repository, I'm not sure I'd like that to happen when installing to the company repository. It also means unnecessary downloads of artifacts.
