local m2-style repository

[Steve Loughran <st...@apache.org>]

I know that my official role on the project is 'mentor' not 
troublemaker, but I take the view the more I break things, the better 
the tests people get to write. Here's my next problem:

I can declare that a filesystem layout shoudl be m2 compatible:

     <filesystem name="team">
       ivys="true" artifacts="true"
       m2compatible="true" >
       <artifact 
pattern="${ivy.conf.dir}/repository/${maven2.pattern.ext}"/>
       <ivy pattern="${ivy.conf.dir}/repository/${maven2.pattern}.xml"/>
     </filesystem>

But it doesnt pick up, because the javax.j2ee pattern isnt being 
switched to javax/j2ee.

[ivy:resolve]                   team: tried 
/home/slo/Projects/examples/diary/repository/javax.j2ee/j2ee/1.5/j2ee-1.5.xml
[ivy:resolve]                   team: tried artifact [ javax.j2ee | j2ee 
| 1.5 ]/j2ee.jar[jar]:
[ivy:resolve] 
/home/slo/Projects/examples/diary/repository/javax.j2ee/j2ee/1.5/j2ee-1.5.jar

Is this intentional?

I agree, I like problem reports, it's the best way to improve a tool. And
Ivy still need a lot of improvements :-)

No it isn't, I'm even surprised it doesn't work. You can open a bug in jira
(still on http://jira.jayasoft.org, but will be moved to apache soon :-) ).
