import dependences with ant ivy - ant

I'm trying to build a Liferay portlet (jira-metrics-portlet) with ant ivy.
But I get the error:
[javac] The import com.atlassian cannot be resolved
How can I import this package with ivy? I only found solutions for mavens.

Try following,
In your SDK, open ivy.xml file.
add dependency like following
<dependencies defaultconf="default">
<dependency name="atlassian" org="com.atlassian" rev="1.1" />
...
in ivy-setting.xml, add your repo links, if you have any.
<resolvers>
<ibiblio m2compatible="true" name="asu-gibson" root="https://gibson.asu.edu/maven" />
You can directly put the *.jar files in to portlet/WEB-INF/lib folder, also.

How to publish custom jars to local Apache Ivy repository

I've read all the tutorials and examples, and still cannot publish a set of custom jars in my local Ivy repository.
Edit: Basically I want the same behavior as maven-install-plugin.
Here's my setup. I have an Ant task which produces the jars in a given folder. The folder name is not fixed but rather passed as a property in file. I want to get all the jars in this folder and install them in my local Ivy repo so that I can use them on a next step.
Here is my Ant from where I call the ivy:publish:
<project name="Install Ivy Dependencies" xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant" basedir="." default="publish">
<loadproperties srcFile="path_to_folder.properties"/>
<property name="file_pattern" value="${path_to_folder}/[artifact].[ext]" />
<property name="pub_revision" value="1.0.0" />
<target name="resolve">
<ivy:configure file="ivysettings.xml" />
<ivy:resolve file="ivy.xml" />
</target>
<target name="retrieve-all" depends="resolve">
<ivy:retrieve pattern="${file_pattern}" conf="*" />
</target>
<target name="publish" depends="retrieve-all">
<ivy:publish resolver="local" organisation="myOrg" update="true" overwrite="true" pubrevision="${pub_revision}">
<artifacts pattern="${file_pattern}"/>
</ivy:publish>
</target>
</project>
Here's my ivysettings.xml:
<ivysettings>
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="local" local="true"/>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
And the ivy.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
<info organisation="myOrg" module="myModule" revision="1.0.0"/>
<publications>
<artifact name="my-custom-jar" ext="jar" type="jar"/>
<artifact name="my-custom-jar-source" ext="jar" type="source"/>
</publications>
</ivy-module>
The error that I am getting when I call the ant task is:
impossible to publish artifacts for myOrg#myModule;1.0.0: java.lang.IllegalStateException: impossible to publish myOrg#myModule;1.0.0!my-custom-jar.jar using local: no artifact pattern defined
I've managed to run my scenario and to resolve my issues using this tutorial There were two major issues in my code/integration.
First one is that you cannot tell Ivy to publish the artifacts in its repository without providing a path to it. I did this with the filesystem resolver:
<filesystem name="local" local="true" transactional="local">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/local/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml" />
<artifact pattern="${ivy.default.ivy.user.dir}/local/[module]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
The stupid think about it is this should be build in. If you copy it as is, then everything works. If the config is different, or pointing to a different location - nothing works and you are not told why. I read tons of docs about Apache Ivy and it was nowhere mentioned that these patterns should point to the local Ivy repository. I thought these were the paths from where the jars should be taken. I actually complained about this, but the Ivy documentation is very confusing. Also I think the examples there are wrong. Who would like to publish the artifacts in their ivy.settings.dir. In my case this directory was in my repository!
There was a second issue. It is a smaller one and again very hard to see and fix. There's something wrong the revision param and again the documentation is messed up. If you specify one and the same string for the revision and pub revision the artifacts aren't publish without any explanation why. I fixed it by removing the revision from ivy.xml file.
Last, but not least, I didn't manage to run successfully the "thing" as Ant task, but with java -jar $IVY_JAR ... Maybe the issue was because of the versions, but I was too tired to try it with the fix.
P.S.#cantSleepNow thanks for the help.
You need to add artifact pattern to resolver in ivysettings.xml, something like (example from ivy documentation):
<ivysettings>
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="local" local="true">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/1/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/1/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>

optimal chain for resolve in ivy

I have some project's that integrates ivy, i publish my artifact in two possible repositories, local, that respond to a folder, and beta, that respond to a server where archiva is installed and where i share my jars with my colleague.
Now the problem: i need to find a way to build a resolution chains that do this things:
search between the various repository the latest.integration.
retrieve that jar.
if that jar is already in my cache do not have to download it.
if the artifact in the cache has the same version of the artifact in one of the repository take the latest in chronology's order.
now i have try everything that's the setting
Ivy setting
<chain name="resolvechain">
<ibiblio name="b1" root="archivaURLforbeta" m2compatible="true" checkmodified="true" latest="latest-time"/>
<filesystem name="b2" checkmodified="true" >
<artifact pattern="${ivy.local.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern}" />
</filesystem>
<ibiblio name="b3" root="archivaURLforrelease" m2compatible="true" latest="latest-time"/>
<ibiblio name="b4" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
that's the target of resolve in the Build.xml file:
<ivy:settings file="${archiva.set}" />
<ivy:resolve refresh="true" resolveMode="dynamic" changing="true"/>
<ivy:retrieve sync="true" overwritemode="newer" pattern="./lib/[artifact]-[type]-[revision](.[ext])" />
and that's an example on how the dependency are written in ivy.xml file
<dependency org="organization" name="module-name" rev="latest.integration" transitive="false" conf="default" />
the questions are two:
First of all is there any error according to my needs?
Second, what i'm trying to do, is possible?
i asked these two questions because it seems to me that setting checkmodified true and changing true let my application skip entirely my cache, and my projects continuing to download the artifacts every time.
I have found the solution searching between different questions here in stackoverflow and in some issues solution in the ivy comunity with my colleagues.
The FileSystem need it's own latest-time strategy, every resolve take note of their own modules last date revision.
Here the mod in the code:
<filesystem name="b2" checkmodified="true" latest="latest-time">
<artifact pattern="${ivy.local.default.root}/${ivy.local.default.artifact.pattern}" />
</filesystem>

Keeping only the latest dependency snapshot using Ant and Ivy

I am using Ant to build my project and Ivy to resolve its dependencies. My project has a dependency which publishes snapshots to my internal Artifactory server.
If the dependency has released a new snapshot, and I do an <ivy:retrieve />, Ivy gets the new snapshot but keeps the previous snapshot around. So I have two versions of the dependency in my lib directory.
The dependency snapshots are named like depproject-1.0.0+23.jar where 23 is the build number. It is published at an address like http://artifactory.example.com/example-snapshots-local/com.example/depproject/1.0-SNAPSHOT/depproject-1.0.0+23.jar. This is not a Maven repository, and it is configured to store unique snapshots.
I am new to Ivy. Is this the expected behavior? How can I configure Ivy or Ant so that only the latest dependency snapshot is kept?
ivysettings.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivy-settings>
<settings defaultResolver="main" />
<resolvers>
<chain name="main">
<ibiblio
name="artifactory-example-snapshots"
m2compatible="false"
root="http://artifactory.example.com/example-snapshots-local/"
pattern="[organization]/[module]/1.0-SNAPSHOT/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]" />
<!-- more repos listed -->
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivy-settings>
ivy.xml
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="com.example" module="myproject" />
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.example" name="depproject" rev="latest.integration" />
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
I'm assuming you're using jars in the lib directory to create a classpath, something like:
<path id="compile.path">
<fileset dir="lib" includes="*.jar"/>
</path>
Your issue being multiple jars containing the same classes?
I think you have two options:
Use the ivy cachepath task to manage the build classpaths
Purge the lib directory, using he retrieve task to repopulate with the latest jars
The first option may appear more complicated, but it is actually a very powerful way to use ivy. For an example see:
How to avoid copying dependencies with Ivy

Apache Ivy: resolving dependencies embedded in an installer

I have a problem with a build where I have to resolve non-standard artifacts through Apache Ivy.
Problem:
I have dependencies on two artifacts (a.jar and a-lib.jar).
The two dependencies come only as part of a single installer (a_installer.jar).
The installer can be downloaded, the embedded artifacts themselves not.
It's possible to manipulate the installer to unpack the needed dependencies.
Requirements:
I have to resolve/download the artifacts during the build (I cannot keep the installer or the extracted artifacts with my code).
I cannot use a repository to store the extracted artifacts.
Subclassing/Extending Ivy/whatever is perfectly fine.
Has anyone solved a similar problem, or some helpful information to share?
Or maybe I'm approaching the problem in the wrong way? From what I found so far on the web, people seem to use Ivy just to download files and post-process them manually (with Ant/whatever) after the fact, and not actually resolving more complicated dependencies within Ivy.
Thanks
PS: I don't care whether the installer is also put into the ivy download cache, but I would like to download the installer only one time (and not for both dependencies).
The problem with a call to "ivy:retrieve" is that you need to also add an "artifact" tag in your ivy.xml (complete with URL) in order to retrieve a dependency not found in a Maven respository...
I don't like this for two reasons
The ivy.xml should just declare your dependencies, not their locations.
Need additonal custom logic in the build.xml to handle the 3rd party package
Ideally it should be your repository settings that decide how to download the various jars, that is why I like the packager resolver. Even if the library I want is not in Maven, I can configure ivy to handle it.
The following is an example of turning the jreleaseinfo project into an ivy dependency (hosted in sourceforge, I couldn't find it in Maven)
ivy.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="com.myspotontheweb" module="ivy_packager"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="ch.oscg" name="jreleaseinfo" rev="1.3.0"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
Declare two resolvers. Default is Maven2, the other is a packager configured to look locally for instructions. (See also the Ivy Roundup project)
ivysettings.xml
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="maven2"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="maven2" m2compatible="true"/>
<packager name="repackage" buildRoot="${user.home}/.ivy2/packager/build" resourceCache="${user.home}/.ivy2/packager/cache">
<ivy pattern="file:///${basedir}/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml"/>
<artifact pattern="file:///${basedir}/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/packager.xml"/>
</packager>
</resolvers>
<modules>
<module organisation="ch.oscg" name="jreleaseinfo" resolver="repackage"/>
</modules>
</ivysettings>
The magic is containing in the "packager" file. At resolve time this will be used to generate an ANT script that both downloads and extracts the required jars.
(No need to put this logic into your build.xml)
repository/ch.oscg/jreleaseinfo/1.3.0/packager.xml
<packager-module version="1.0">
<property name="name" value="${ivy.packager.module}"/>
<property name="version" value="${ivy.packager.revision}"/>
<property name="zipname" value="${name}-${version}"/>
<resource dest="archive" url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jreleaseinfo/files/jreleaseinfo/jreleaseinfo%201.3.0/jreleaseinfo-1.3.0.zip/download" sha1="9386d92758e627d04c2480b820731fd538b13a3f" type="zip"/>
<build>
<move file="archive/${zipname}/${zipname}.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/${name}.jar"/>
</build>
</packager-module>
To reduce the number of files I omitted the module's ivy.xml. This appears to be optional unless you want to declare it's licence and other attributes that should be present in a public repository.
I think this is very straightforward: 'ivy:retrieve' a_installer and then unzip a.j and a-lib into your lib directory (or wherever you want it). This should be easily to do with ant?
I have to wonder if there is some complication you haven't mentioned that prevents you from doing this.

Ivy: how do I remove transitive dependencies?

I'm using Ivy to manage the dependencies on my project.
So far, I've specified a dependency on Hibernate and servlet-api. However, the hibernate jar itself has a lot of dependencies that aren't really needed, such as jaas and jacc.
This becomes a show-stopper because jaas and jaac are Sun libraries and therefore their licenses forbid to place them in the Maven repos, so Ivy can't find them there.
How do I make Ivy download Hibernate but not these two ?
As a bonus, if I actually needed those and downloaded their Jars from Sun, in which folder in my machine would Ivy look for them ?
Another option for not downloading any dependencies is to disable them with the transitive attribute. So if you wanted hibernate-core, but none of its dependencies, you could do this:
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-core"
rev="3.3.1.GA" conf='..'
transitive="false" />
</dependencies>
How do I make Ivy download Hibernate but not these two?
Ivy does this using what it calls "configurations." Your ivy.xml that represents Hibernate will need to provide different configurations to represent different use-cases for hibernate. (There is obviously some use of hibernate that does require jaas and jacc, but apparently you don't make use of that case.)
Here is the documentation on configurations. If you want to provide the ivy.xml you are using for hibernate, I can provide pointers on building configurations that will remove the specific libraries you want removed.
If I actually needed those and downloaded their Jars from Sun, in which folder in my machine would Ivy look for them?
The "directories" that ivy looks in for ivy files and artifacts are specified by the list of resolvers you are using. The list of resolvers is specified in the ivy settings file (usually named ivysettings.xml.) Typically, these aren't local directories, but remote URLs. There is; however, a local-file resolver type that will work for this.
If you do this, you will need to provide both ivy files and the artifacts (jars), each with file-names that match the resolvers patterns. Details on that are in the documentation.
Here is an example local-file resolver from an ivy settings file:
<filesystem name="myfiles" checkconsistency="false" checksums="" transactional="false">
<ivy pattern="/data/repo/[organisation]/[module]-[revision].ivy.xml"/>
<artifact pattern="/data/repo/[organisation]/[module]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
Also note that you will need to point your ivy tasks to the correct resolver. You can do this with the resolver attribute on the ant tasks, or with the defaultResolver attribute on the settings element in the ivy settings file.
Here is the documentation on resolvers.
EDIT: The OP found a less-time intensive workaround for his specific original problem. The "exclude" child-tag of the dependency tag did the job for him:
<dependencies>
<dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-core" rev="3.3.1.GA" conf='..'>
<exclude name='jaas' />
<exclude name='jacc' />
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Browsing the web and blogs, I found the following ivy-settings to work at grabbing jaas/jacc and hibernate
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="chained" checkUpToDate="true" />
<resolvers>
<chain name="chained">
<url name="com.springsource.repository.bundles.release">
<ivy pattern="http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/release/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
<artifact pattern="http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/release/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</url>
<url name="com.springsource.repository.bundles.external">
<ivy pattern="http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/external/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
<artifact pattern="http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/bundles/external/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</url>
<ibiblio name="ibiblio" m2compatible="true"/>
<ibiblio name="jboss" root="http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/" m2compatible="true"/>
<ibiblio name="java-net-maven1" root="http://download.java.net/maven/1" pattern="${java.net.maven.pattern}" m2compatible="false"/>
<ibiblio name="java-net-maven2" root="http://download.java.net/maven/2/" m2compatible="true"/>
<ibiblio name="compass" m2compatible="true" root="http://repo.compass-project.org" />
</chain>
</resolvers>
The jboss ibibilio resolver is what did the trick at grabbing JAAS/JAAC
My ivy.xml then can then pull it in with
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="foo" module="Bar"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="com.h2database" name="h2" rev="1.2+"/>
<dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-annotations" rev="3.4.0.GA"/>
</dependencies>
To answer your second sub-question literally, which nobody has done so far, "in which folder in my machine would Ivy look for JARs?" That depends. Assuming you haven't changed the location in ivysettings.xml or another configuration file: for JAAS,
this would be: (user home)/.ivy2/cache/javax.security/jaas/jars. If Ivy already unsuccessfully tried to find JAAS in the Maven Central or other repo's, that directory tree should already exist for the most part, and all you need to do is create the "jars" directory and place jaas-1.0.01.jar in it. Ivy will no longer complain about the missing dependency in its next invocation.
EDIT: Then again, see the discussion below to see considerations to not do it like this.
((user home) is C:/Users/(username) on Windows 7).
