Dependency on Zip of Jars

[deaddowney <sp...@mac.com>]

I have two projects.  One produces a zip file containing its built jars and
the other is dependent on the first (among other things).  When the second
needs to build, it needs that zip unpacked and those jars all put in a
directory somewhere.  How is this done?

However how do I specify my dependencies in ivy.xml?  Am I dependent on the
one zip or the individual jars in the zip?

That's a job for the Packager Resolver.

You would depend on the individual JAR files. Think of the packager resolver
as a normal resolver with support for an optional "extra step" in the
download process. This extra step allows you to unpack and extract files
from whatever it downloaded. So you download an archive, but what is
resolved is the stuff in the archive.
