Custom URL Ivy dependency - ivy

I need to get the Scala.js library as a dependecy in a Ivy-using Eclipse project. Sbt manages to find the dependencies with no problems, but I can't seem to make it work with Ivy.
The jar is available here: http://dl.bintray.com/content/scala-js/scala-js-releases/org.scala-lang.modules.scalajs/scalajs-library_2.10/0.4.2/jars/ I've tried to construct a suitable Url resolver but with no success so far.
Supposedly the dependency in ivy.xml should work like this:
<dependency org="org.scala-lang.modules.scalajs" name="scalajs-library_2.10" rev="0.4.2" />
What do I need in ivysettings.xml to make Ivy pull down the jar for me?

Try this:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="central"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
<url name="scala">
<artifact pattern="http://dl.bintray.com/content/scala-js/scala-js-releases/[organisation]/[artifact]/[revision]/jars/[artifact].[ext]"/>
</url>
</resolvers>
<modules>
<module organisation="org.scala-lang.*" resolver="scala"/>
</modules>
</ivysettings>
This settings file is designed to retrieve from Maven central by default.

IVY resolve to latest.release resolves to wrong artifact

I have an ivy xml file contains dependencies declarations, but uses the rev="latest.release" settings rather than specifying a hard wired revision.
<dependency org="<organisation name>" name="<module>" rev="latest.release"/>
The reason I am using latest.release is that every Sunday our build process runs and generates 'release' artifacts for ALL modules in our project. These artifacts are named WKXX-YYYY so for example, the most recent was WK05-2017
The problem is, when I do a resolve IVY is resolving the artifacts to version WK50-2016 and I do not understand why. The published ivy.xml that resides with the artifact on our central ivy repo seems correct and the info section states the correct status eg release and the publication date is also correct.
eg
WK50-2016
<info organisation="<org name>" module="<module name>" revision="WK50-2016" status="release" publication="20161218140515"/>
WK05-2017
<info organisation="<org name>" module="<module name>" revision="WK05-2017" status="release" publication="20170205140555"/>
As you can see from the above, the publication date is more recent in the WK05-2017 artifact.
I have also included the ivysettings.xml that is also used as part of the IVY configuration.
ivysettings.xml
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="chained"/>
<resolvers>
<!-- Remote IVY Repo -->
<filesystem name="remote" changingPattern=".*-SNAPSHOT.*" changingMatcher="regexp" checkmodified="true">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.repo.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.repo.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
<!-- Local IVY Repo -->
<filesystem name="local" changingPattern=".*-SNAPSHOT.*" changingMatcher="regexp" checkmodified="true">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.local.repo.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.local.repo.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
<!-- Use both the local and remote repos -->
<chain name="chained" changingPattern=".*-SNAPSHOT.*" changingMatcher="regexp" checkmodified="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<resolver ref="remote"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
<caches defaultCacheDir="${ivy.cache.dir}" ivyPattern="${ivy.cache.ivy.pattern}" artifactPattern="${ivy.cache.artifact.pattern}"/>
</ivysettings>
Just for reference.
changingPattern=".*-SNAPSHOT.*" changingMatcher="regexp" checkmodified="true"
are used as we also use SNAPSHOT integration artefacts that are built and published when commits are made to trunk. I found that without these attributes ivy would use the local SNAPSHOT even if the version on the remote repo was more recent.
Thanks in advance.

ivy and artifactory resolving failure

Having a small issue with ivy, artifactory and the spring repo. I was attempting to use:
<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap" name="spring-ldap-core" rev="1.3.2.RELEASE" conf="compile->default"/>
<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap" name="spring-ldap" rev="1.3.2.RELEASE" conf="compile->default"/>
with ivy settings:
<resolvers>
<filesystem name="local">
<ivy pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/ivy.xml" />
<artifact pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/[artifact].[ext]" />
</filesystem>
<chain name="chain">
<resolver ref="local"/>
<ibiblio name="artifactory-spring" m2compatible="true" root="http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/spring-release"/>
<ibiblio name="artifactory" m2compatible="true" root="http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/repo1"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
However, I'm getting errors (ant publish -verbose mode)
[ivy:cachepath] CLIENT ERROR: Not Found url=http://artifactory.xxx.com:8081/artifactory/spring-release/spring-ldap/jars/spring-ldap-1.3.2.RELEASE.jar

indicating that repo1 doesn't have version 1.3.2 and the spring maven repo doesn't have the pom or anything. How do I get ivy (or maybe artifactory?) to deal with the spring maven repo properly? I'm guessing the spring repo is simply not m2compatible, though I've tried flagging the ibiblio setting to false for this.
Thanks!
You have configured your settings file to download from the non-existent "xxx.com" domain.
Good news is that you don't need a settings file at all, by default ivy will download from the Maven Central repository.
Bad news is that there is no 1.3.2.RELEASE version of the spring-ldap artifact:
spring-ldap versons
spring-ldap-code versions
The following ivy file works:
<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap" name="spring-ldap-core" rev="1.3.2.RELEASE" conf="compile->default"/>
<dependency org="org.springframework.ldap" name="spring-ldap" rev="1.3.1.RELEASE" conf="compile->default"/>

Ivy Resolver Namespaces and the Resolve task

I am working with two ivy repositories that have inconsistent naming, I am looking at using namespaces to help with the mappings, but do namespaces affect operations besides "install" such as "resolve"?
I just found the namespace doco in the manual.... I think this approach would be overly complex.
I suggest creating two repository declarations as follows, with the appropriate file system pattern:
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="central"/>
<resolvers>
<!-- Default resolver used to resolve 3rd party software from Maven Central -->
<ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/>
<!-- Team1's repository. ivy and artifact patterns can be customized -->
<filesystem name="team1-repo">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repo/1/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repo/1/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
<!-- Team2's repository. ivy and artifact patterns can be customized -->
<filesystem name="team2-repo">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repo/2/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/repo/2/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
</resolvers>
<!-- This optional section tells which resolver to use.
Alternative setup a chain resolver above -->
<modules>
<module organisation="team1" name=".*" resolver="team1-repo" />
<module organisation="team2" name=".*" resolver="team2-repo" />
</modules>
</ivysettings>
Notes:
Obviously this example could be updated to use url resolvers if the ivy repository is located remotely.

How do I use a local folder as an ivy repository?

What if I have already jars in my project lib folder and I want to use that folder as my repository instead of downloading and install it into my iv2/local folder.
Right now its first downloading jars from maven to my local repository. Some jars are not found in the repository, but I have them in a lib folder and would lie to retrieve them from there.
You need to create an ivysettings.xml where you define two resolvers in a chain:
FileSystemResolver
Maven Repository Resolver
This could look like this (Example from the chain resolver:
<ivysettings>
<resolvers>
<chain name="test">
<filesystem name="1">
<ivy pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/lib/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="${ivy.settings.dir}/lib/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</filesystem>
<ibiblio name="maven2" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>
${ivy.settings.dir} is the folder, where your ivysettings.xml is located.
To include / set an ivysettings.xml in your build.xml you need to use the settings task:
<ivy:settings />
or
<ivy:settings file="path_to_file/ivysettings.xml" />

Issues using ivy

I am new bie to ivy.
I am using packager resolver and that packager resolver resolves the zip file, unzip it, extracts the jar file from it in temp build file, but it stays temporarily and only the jar file which i specified as a module name gets copied to destination rest of all are ignored. Is there a way i can get all the jar files? I use preseverBuildDirectories but is there a better way to do it?
Also is it possible for me to publish an artifact to svn using normal ivy? I got error while i was trying to use ivy 2.1.0 on XP using ant 1.8.0 java.illegalArguementException saying authorization failed. Is there a way i can work through ivy:publish?
Is there a way i can use ivy variable in packager.xml?
Thanks in advance,
Almas
1) Packager resolver
You need to include an ivy file for the repackaged module listing all the artifacts.
Here's my example that downloads the files associated with the Solr distribution
ivysettings.xml
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="maven2"/>
<caches defaultCacheDir="${user.home}/.ivy2/cache"/>
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="maven2" m2compatible="true"/>
<packager name="repackage" buildRoot="${user.home}/.ivy2/packager/build" resourceCache="${user.home}/.ivy2/packager/cache" preserveBuildDirectories="false">
<ivy pattern="file:///${ivy.settings.dir}/packager/[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="file:///${ivy.settings.dir}/packager/[organisation]/[module]/packager-[revision].xml"/>
</packager>
</resolvers>
<modules>
<module organisation="org.apache.solr" name="solr" resolver="repackage"/>
</modules>
</ivysettings>
Note how the packager resolver specifies a path to both an ivy and packager file.
The ivy file specifies the artifacts that are part of the package in the publications section.
packager/org.apache.solr/solr/ivy-1.4.0.xml
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="org.apache.solr" module="solr" revision="1.4.0"/>
<configurations>
<conf name="jars" description="Jars released with SOLR distribution"/>
<conf name="webapps" description="Web applications"/>
</configurations>
<publications>
<!-- jars -->
<artifact name="solr-cell" conf="jars"/>
<artifact name="solr-clustering" conf="jars"/>
<artifact name="solr-core" conf="jars"/>
<artifact name="solr-dataimporthandler" conf="jars"/>
<artifact name="solr-dataimporthandler-extras" conf="jars"/>
<!-- webapps -->
<artifact name="solr" type="war" conf="webapps"/>
</publications>
</ivy-module>
The packager file contains the logic that copies out each artifact listed in the ivy file for the solr module.
packager/org.apache.solr/solr/packager-1.4.0.xml
<packager-module version="1.0">
<property name="name" value="${ivy.packager.module}"/>
<property name="version" value="${ivy.packager.revision}"/>
<resource dest="archive" url="http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/1.4.0/apache-solr-1.4.0.tgz" sha1="521d4d7ce536dd16c424a11ae8837b65e6b7bd2d">
<url href="http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/1.4.0/apache-solr-1.4.0.tgz"/>
</resource>
<build>
<!-- Jar artifacts -->
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/apache-${name}-cell-${version}.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/${name}-cell.jar"/>
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/apache-${name}-clustering-${version}.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/${name}-clustering.jar"/>
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/apache-${name}-core-${version}.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/${name}-core.jar"/>

<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/apache-${name}-dataimporthandler-extras-${version}.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/${name}-dataimporthandler-extras.jar"/>
<!-- War artifacts -->
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/apache-${name}-${version}.war" tofile="artifacts/wars/${name}.war"/>
</build>
</packager-module>
2) Publish to subversion
I've never used it myself but I think you need to configure the subversion resolver and use this to publish your artifacts
3) Using ivy variable in packager file
The packager file listed above uses two ivy variables. Not sure what your question is.
Update: Supporting 3rd party jars
The publications section of the ivy file include the version number in the name of the 3rd party jar:
ivy file
..
<publications>
<artifact name="abc-1.0" conf="jars"/>
<artifact name="pqr-2.0" conf="jars"/>
</publications>
..
packager file
..
<build>
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/abc-1.0.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/abc-1.0.jar"/>
<move file="archive/apache-${name}-${version}/dist/pqr-2.0.jar" tofile="artifacts/jars/pqr-2.0.jar"/>
</build>
