Question

Using Ivy with this Ant target:

<target name="retrieve-jars">
   <ivy:retrieve pattern="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/[artifact].[ext]" />
</target>

to fetch dependencies such as this (off of default Maven repos):

<dependency org="com.google.code.gson" name="gson" rev="2.0"/>

…the resulting filename is e.g. “gson.jar“.

While it might be a dubious practice to do so, I’m interested in knowing if you can include the version number in the filename, making it e.g. “gson-2.0.jar“.

I tried [version] and [ver] but those do not work; I end up with e.g. “gson-[version].jar”.

Answer 1

Use [revision]:

[artifact]-[revision].[ext]
