<h3>1. What is Apache Ivy?</h3> | |
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. | |
<h3>2. Status of this release</h3> | |
This is the second release candidate of Ivy targetting 2.4.0. | |
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 2.4.0 version, | |
only bug fixes may be applied before 2.4.0. If no outstanding bugs are reported | |
with this release candidate, it will promoted to 2.4.0 about three weeks after this | |
release candidate. | |
