[jira] Updated: (IVY-531) ivyconf: to accept complex path

Jason Trump updated IVY-531:
----------------------------

    Attachment: ivy-ant-classpath.patch

We needed this feature too, so I tried to implement it.  Attached is a patch against today's trunk including test and documentation.  What do you think?

The patch adds two optional attributes to <classpath>, refid and path.  The new attributes only work when Ivy is loaded from an Ant build script.  For example,

{quote}
<ivysettings>

   <!-- references an ant path by id  -->
   <classpath refid="my.ant.path"/>

   <!-- use a complex path expression -->
   <classpath path="path/jar1.jar:path/jar2.jar"/>

   ...

</ivysettings>
{quote}

The 'url' and 'file' attributes still work exactly as they did before.

Before you run the unit tests in the patch, you have to generate some new test jar files:

bq. ant build-custom-resolver-jar

> Eric:
> The ivyconf.xml classpath tag accepts file or url elements which seem capable of pointing to only a single classpath element, either a path or a jar. Can a full classpath be expressed?
> For instance, I would like to set an ant property called my.classpath and have it contain something like "a.jar:b.jar:c.jar". I'd like to use that property in my ivyconf.xml in a classpath element to set the classpath for resolver with complex dependencies

> Sounds like a good idea, but this is not implemented yet. Open a jira issue.
