<b>Tag:</b> outputters <span class="tagdoc" id="ivysettings.outputters">Defines a list of report outputters usable in ivy. </span> A report outputter is used at the end of the resolve process to generate a report of how the resolve has been performed. Two report outputters are registered by default: <ul> <li>a log report outputter ([[svn:src/java/org/apache/ivy/plugins/report/LogReportOutputter.java LogReportOutputter]])</li>which produces the output on the console at the end of the resolve, which looks like this: <code> --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | modules || artifacts | | conf | number| search|dwnlded|evicted|| number|dwnlded| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | default | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 || 1 | 1 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- </code> <li>an xml report outputter ([[svn:src/java/org/apache/ivy/plugins/report/XmlReportOutputter.java XmlReportOutputter]])</li>which produces an xml report in the cache, which is mandatory for correct Ivy behaviour, since it's that report which is used when you do a post resolve step in a separate build from the resolve itself. It's also this xml report which is processed to generate all the different reports available in the [[ant:report]] task. </ul> The child tag used for the parser must be equal to a name of a report outputter type (added with the typedef tag).
