[jira] Reopened: (IVY-1270) Ant Ivy install task not working with all resolvers

Thomas Glaeser reopened IVY-1270:
---------------------------------


This and similar problems were already discussed on the mailing list with no solution found.

The use case is precisely about resolving from an artifact repository that does +not+ provide Ivy descriptors. Usually all Maven repositories don't offer an Ivy descriptor. This use case is identical to using the {{ibiblio}} resolver with {{usepoms}} set to {{false}}.

According to the documentation the {{ivy}} element from {{filesystem}} and {{url}} resolvers is optional, meaning Ivy should not look for, or expect to find Ivy discriptors. In this scenario, Ivy is only able to retrieve plain {{jar}} files without classifier. To me, this seems to be a bug.

> When setting the {{from}} resolver on the Ant Ivy {{install}} task to {{ibiblio}}, I'm able to download all the artifacts belonging to one module from the public maven repository. However using other resolvers like {{url}} and {{filesystem}} will only retrtieve artifacts of type {{jar}}.
> Using {{from}} resolvers {{url}} and {{filesystem}}, downloading artifacts of type {{zip}} is not working nor is is possible to retrieve artifacts with a {{[classifier]}} pattern.
> If this is not a bug and there is a workaround, please provide some guideline in the the documentation how to implement something like this. It seems to be a very valid use case.
