[jira] Commented: (IVY-912) Can the getArchiveFileInCache() methods be put on the RepositoryCacheManager interface?

["Maarten Coene (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-912?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12650357#action_12650357 ] 

Maarten Coene commented on IVY-912:
-----------------------------------

The problem is that it is possible that the artifact isn't in the cache (can happen if you set useOrigin="true" on the cache element in your settings.xml).
In that case, the File returned by that method will probably not exist.

You should take a look at the IvyCachePath task to have an example of getting the resolved artifacts as file paths by using the ResolveReport.
If I'm not mistaken, IvyDE (the eclipse plugin) uses a similar approach.

> I'm writing an IDE plugin, and I need to access the filepath of a resolved dependency to add to the dependencies of the IDE project.
> To do this, I needed to use the DefaultRepositoryCacheManager directly since the getArchiveFileInCache(artifact) method is not on the interface.
> Was this an intentional decision, if so: how should I lookup the archive for the artifact?
> If not, can this method become part of the interface so the usability of the API increases?
> Small code snippet to illustrate the current API usage: {noformat} if (repositoryCacheManager instanceof DefaultRepositoryCacheManager)   {
>   DefaultRepositoryCacheManager defaultRepositoryCacheManager = (DefaultRepositoryCacheManager) repositoryCacheManager;
>   projectDependencies.add(defaultRepositoryCacheManager.getArchiveFileInCache(artifact).getAbsolutePath());         
> }  
> {noformat}
