overriding dependencies??
Hi!
Most apache libs depends on commons-logging, so when retrieving e.g.
commons-lang, commons-logging.jar will also retrieved.
Now we've decided to switch to slf4j and not using commons-logging.
slf4j provides a bridge jcl-over-slfj4.jar which can be used instead
of commons-logging.jar, so commons-logging.jar must not in the
classpath.
Is there a way to tell ivy to retrieve jcl-over-slfj4.jar where
commons-logging.jar is requested? Or do I have to manually edit all
ivys where commons-logging is a dependency? Or what's the best way to
handle this requirement?
Thx, John

Thank you for your answer - "exclude" will work fine for our purposes!

Maybe you could use the exclude functionality in your ivy.xml files?This way you can exclude commons-logging, even if other modules depend on it.
Cfr. http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/exclude.html
But this would require modifying all ivy.xml files of your top-level modules.
I don't think there is an option to do this globally with a simple setting...
