Apparently more people had and have this issue, so I’m putting my solution as an answer: Temporary fix As someone mentioned here Apache IVY error message? : impossible to get artifacts when data has not been loaded manually adding the dependency solves it: I’ve added “com.google.guava” % “guava” % “12.0” and the problem is gone.
How about grails dependency-report (docs)
The following two articles helped me to better understand how Maven and Ivy inter-operate http://www.symphonious.net/2010/01/25/using-ivy-for-dependency-management/ http://lightguard-jp.blogspot.com/2009/04/ivy-configurations-when-pulling-from.html Oddly, I never really understood ivy configurations, until it was explained how they can be used to simulate Maven scopes. The following listis from the www.symphonious.net link and illustrates the available configurations from pom-files/maven repositories: default runtime dependencies and … Read more
Declaring bias: I’m the founder of the Archiva project. I can assure you Archiva, and indeed all 3 projects, will satisfy the needs you’ve listed, and all have several more advanced features that you’ll likely find useful as your environment progresses. They’re all quick to try, so you can see what feels most natural for … Read more
ANT cannot find the ivy jar. Needs to be downloaded, extracted, and the ivy-x.y.z.jar placed into one of the following locations: $ANT_HOME/lib $HOME/.ant/lib Enabling ivy Ivy is packaged as an antlib, so to enable it you need to do the following 1) Declare the ivy namespace at the top of the build file <project ….. … Read more
Since what you’re wanting to do is add dependency management to an existing Ant project, that’s precisely what Ivy’s designed to do. Dependency management is a big part of Maven, but far from all of it. Maven is more of a project-oriented tool that does several other things in addition to dependencies. It would be … Read more
You need to add an ivysettings.xml file with the following repositories listed (resolvers in ivy speak) <ivysettings> <settings defaultResolver=”chain”/> <resolvers> <chain name=”chain”> <ibiblio name=”central” m2compatible=”true”/> <ibiblio name=”example” m2compatible=”true” root=”http://example.com/m2/”/> </chain> </resolvers> </ivysettings> In my opinion it makes more sense to separate the dependency declaration (ivy.xml) from the mechanism of retrieval (settings.xml). This is not needed … Read more
The sbt.ivy.home property is only half of the solution. It controls where the sbt launcher downloads sbt itself (and related dependencies like the scala compiler and library, etc.) As noted by Joachim Hofer, it has no effect on where the dependencies declared by your project get downloaded. To change that location, you must set the … Read more
If you like to search for Classes you should use http://search.maven.org and click on “Advanced search”…This is for Maven Central
You can use the documented (honest, it’s in there somewhere…) toString helper: <echo message=”My build-path is ${toString:build-path}” />
