ivy-maven-plugin's Introduction

Ivy Maven Plugin

A plugin to add apache Ivy dependencies to a Maven project. This is a fork of Evgeny Goldin's Ivy Maven Plugin that fixes support for transitive dependencies.

Configuration

The ivy goal can be configured with

settings a String file path or URL that points to an Ivy settings (xml) file.
transitive a boolean (default false), whether to add the transitive dependencies of the configured dependencies too.
scope a String (default "compile") to define what Maven scope to add the dependencies to.
dependencies a list of dependency elements, in the same format as the Maven Dependency Plugin

The fields of each dependency element correspond to their Ivy equivalent as follows:

groupId is an Ivy module organisation
artifactId is an Ivy module name
version is an Ivy module revision
type is the Ivy artifact type and ext
classifier is a String or regex that matches an Ivy artifact's name.
baseVersion is the Ivy configuration to use, defaulting to "default" if not given

The plugin can only refer to Ivy artifacts from the default configuration of each Ivy dependency.

Examples

An example of what to put in your pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.github.remis-thoughts</groupId>
  <artifactId>ivy-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.2</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>add-dependencies</id>
      <phase>initialize</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>ivy</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <settings>ivy-settings.xml</settings>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
        <transitive>false</transitive>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
