1. What is Apache Ivy?
|
|
|
|
Apache Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and reporting)
|
|
project dependencies.
|
|
It is characterized by the following:
|
|
|
|
1. flexibility and configurability
|
|
Apache Ivy is essentially process agnostic and is not tied to any
|
|
methodology or structure.
|
|
Instead it provides the necessary flexibility and configurability
|
|
to be adapted to a broad range of dependency management and build
|
|
processes.
|
|
2. tight integration with Apache Ant
|
|
while available as a standalone tool, Apache Ivy works particularly well
|
|
with Apache Ant providing a number of powerful Ant tasks ranging
|
|
from dependency resolution to dependency reporting and publication.
|
|
|
|
2. How to Get Involved
|
|
|
|
The Apache Ivy project really needs and appreciates any contributions,
|
|
including documentation help, source code and feedback. If you are interested
|
|
in contributing, please visit http://ant.apache.org/ivy/get-involved.html.
|
|
|
|
3. How to Report Issues
|
|
|
|
The Apache Ivy project uses JIRA for issue tracking. Please report any
|
|
issues you find at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY
|
|
|
|
4. Committers and Contributors for this Release

|
Here is the list of people who have contributed source code and documentation
|
|
to this release. Many thanks to all of them, and also to the whole Ivy community
|
|

|
|
long, but Ivy couldn't be what it is without you!
