Question

I would like to retrieve ONLY the library jar when I make use of a dependency entry in my ivy.xml for Red5 (or any project for that matter). No matter how I have configured it, I still get “sources” jars for dependencies. I have scoured the docs and google and have yet to find a solution that works using Ivy 2.2.0.

This set of nodes in my ivy.xml seems to work the best for most libraries, but Spring ignores them.

    <exclude ext="txt" />
    <exclude type="src" />
    <exclude artifact="!sources" />

If anyone has any tips that would work, lets hear them!!

Links to the source xml files

http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ivy.xml

http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/ivysettings.xml

http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk/build.xml

Note

Don’t say this is a duplicate, their answers do NOT work:

ivy: prevent downloading sources and .txt files

make ivy not to download sources and license files

Update 1

<dependency org="org.springframework" name="org.springframework.core" rev="3.0.5.RELEASE" transitive="false" />

Produces these two files in my lib directory:

org.springframework.core-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar
org.springframework.core-sources-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar

Update 2
For the bounty, I expect your solution to work with Red5 trunk which is available to everyone as open source. The sources jars are just a annoyance for me and well worth the bounty points.

Answer 1

I revised your ivy.xml and ivysettings.xml files.

To suppress source files I used a default configuration mapping to avoid the need to add a “conf” attribute to each dependency.

    <configurations defaultconfmapping="default">
    ..
    ..

Spring now release their software via Maven central so I revised the ivy settings file to use these instead of the old ivy bundle repositories.
