Infinispan with Ivy

[lucboudreau]

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve infinispan-core using Ivy, but I get a bunch of errors because the pom files specify the package type to be "bundle" instead of "jar". Am I missing something? I used Ivy extensively before, so I'm pretty confused as to why Infinispan's artifacts are deployed this way. It really creates a whole bunch of problems. Is there any workarounds?

Yes, you need to use <ivy:retrieve type="bundle" ... /> as illustrated here: http://www.jboss.org/netty/community.html#nabble-td4790241

Maybe this needs to be a FAQ on Infinispan's FAQ page?

It didn't fix the issue. Ivy still tries to retrieve infinispan-[version].bundle. What i need is a Jar file. It is right there in the repo, Ivy sees it without any problems, but because the pom.xml descriptor is telling it to look for a ".bundle" file, it fails. I tried to add an <artifact> element within my dependency declaration and it works only for the infinispan dependency, but not for all the other transient dependencies (jgroups and such..).

I'm just about to deploy your artifacts in my own repo and stop trying to use yours altogether. I'm probably not the only one resorting to that. Maybe someone should really look into this issue, as IMHO it's a defect.

What Ivy version are you using?  Let me try to reproduce the problem.

I'm using Ivy 2.1.0 on a Windows Machine with Ant 1.7.
