| 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. |
