Question

This is my ivy.xml:

<dependencies defaultconf="default">
    <dependency org="com.mycompany" name="custom" rev="1.0"/>
</dependencies>

ivysettings.xml:

<ivysettings>
    <settings defaultResolver="repo.mycompany.com" />
    <resolvers>
        <ibiblio name="repo.mycompany.com" root="http://repo.mycompany.com/maven/" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" />
    </resolvers>
</ivysettings>

Artifact com.mycompany:custom:1.0 created as maven pom and published to repo.mycompany.com:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

            <exclusions>
                 <exclusion>

                 </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>avalon-framework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>avalon-framework</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
                    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

Wheh I download ivy libs with such code:

<target name="ivy-init">
    <mkdir dir="${internal-libs}"/>
    <ivy:settings file="${ivy.settings.dir}/ivysettings.xml"/>
    <ivy:retrieve pattern="${internal-libs}/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" sync="true"  />
</target>

ivy download excluded deps avalon-framework:avalon-framework:4.1.3 and logkit:logkit:1.0.1

Why? I exluded it in pom!

How to exclude it with ivy, keeping the same simple ivy.xml?

Answer 1

Resolve this in next steps:

1. review my pom.xml and add exclusion to other artifact depends on
   commons-logging:commons-logging
2. update to latest ivy
3. clean local ivy cache
