Question

The reason we are using IVY is that we already have ANT scripts. Meaning, there is no maven compatible folders by default.

We had to create such convention.

Now, I already implemented the IVYing. After resolve, I do the

<ivy:cachepath pathid="ivy.test.classpath" conf="test" settingsref="ivy.ref" />

The problem with this, it doesn’t include the

src/test/java , src/test/resources

What is the best way of including those.

What I’m currently doing is creating another classpath (postfixed with .extended) that includes the original classpath along with the new folders.

Is there an ‘IVYier’ way to do it? maybe add something in the dependency file ivy.xml or a way to tell it to act maven.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Why do you need to add the source dirs to the classpath?

I typically only need to add the compiled classes directory into a classpath and that is typically easier to do directly in the few tasks like Junit that needs to be configured in this manner.

For example:

<junit ....>
    <classpath>
        <path refid="runtime.path"/>
        <pathelement path="${classes.dir}"/>
    </classpath>
    ..
</junit>
