Ivy dependency management for legacy repository


We have a repository which doesn't have ivy.xml and other metadata files. Since, its published by another team which doesn't use ivy/maven but will continue to deliver code frequently.

The jars needed for dependency are stored in flat structure inside a single directory with no revision data. The organization / module /revision structure is absent.

Does ivy allow such dependency resolutions in the core product or will I have to write a custom resolver?

Thanks


Solution

  • Understanding ivy pattern helped me resolve the issue. The catch is never specify an ivy pattern whenever the repository doesn't have ivy files.
