| |
| 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. How to Get Involved |
| |
| The Apache Ivy project really needs and appreciates any contributions, |
| including documentation help, source code and feedback. If you are interested |
| in contributing, please visit http://ant.apache.org/ivy/get-involved.html. |
| |
| 3. How to Report Issues |
| |
| The Apache Ivy project uses JIRA for issue tracking. Please report any |
| issues you find at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY |
| |
| 4. Committers and Contributors for this Release |

| to this release. Many thanks to all of them, and also to the whole Ivy community |
| contributing ideas and feedback, and promoting the use of Ivy. The list would be too |
