| |
| 1. What is Apache Ivy? |
| |
| Apache Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and reporting) |
| project dependencies. |
| It is characterized by the following: |
| |
| 1. flexibility and configurability |
| Apache Ivy is essentially process agnostic and is not tied to any |
| methodology or structure. |
| Instead it provides the necessary flexibility and configurability |
| to be adapted to a broad range of dependency management and build |
| processes. |
| 2. tight integration with Apache Ant |
| while available as a standalone tool, Apache Ivy works particularly well |
| with Apache Ant providing a number of powerful Ant tasks ranging |
| from dependency resolution to dependency reporting and publication. |
| |
| 2. Status of this release |
| |
| This is the second release candidate of Ivy targetting 2.1.0. |
| |
| As a release candidate version, we strongly encourage the use of this version for |
| testing and validation. From now on, features are frozen until final 2.1.0 version, |
| only bug fixes may be applied before 2.1.0. If no outstanding bugs are reported |
| with this release candidate, it will promoted to 2.1.0 about two weeks after this |
| release candidate. |
| |
