Is "rev" argument must in dependency tag of ivy.xml ?

[praveen babu <to...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I was trying to load a jar file which name is not telling about the version. (i.e, axis.jar). When I try to use it in one dependency in my project, ivy was throwing an error.

1. I put an empty string in <dependency org="axis" name="axis" rev=""/>. It downloaded properly, but downloaded file name has a "-" (hypen) suffixed.
2. Is there any way to resolve this issue.

I appreciate you suggestion.

Thanks in advance,
-Praveen.

You can put the revision as an optional part in your pattern:
[artifact](-[revision]).[ext] for instance). But having dependencies with no
revision is a bad practice I strongly discourage.
