In the case you want to call ivy as a standalone program (outside from ant), you have to put commons-cli 1.0 and its dependencies in your classpath.
Then here is how to call it:
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -?
</code>
It will indicate you what can be given as argument.
<span class="since">since 1.3</span> System properties are included as ivy variables, so you can easily define an ivy variable like this:
<code>
java -Dmyivyvar=myvalue org.apache.ivy.Main [parameters]
</code>
<h1>Examples</h1>
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main
</code>
calls ivy with default configuration using ivy.xml in the current dir
<hr/>
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -conf path/to/myivysettings.xml -ivy path/to/myivy.xml
</code>
calls ivy with given ivysettings file using given ivy file
<hr/>
<span class="since">since 1.3</span>
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -conf path/to/myivysettings.xml -dependency apache commons-lang 2.0
</code>
calls ivy with given ivysettings file and resolve apache commons-lang 2.0.
This is equivalent to:
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -conf path/to/myivysettings.xml -ivy ivy.xml
</code>
with ivy.xml like this:
<code type="xml">
<ivy-module version="1.0">
<info organisation="org"
module="standalone"
revision="working"
/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="apache" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" conf="default->*"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
</code>
<hr/>
<span class="since">since 1.3</span>
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -conf path/to/myivysettings.xml -ivy path/to/myivy.xml -cachepath mycachefile.txt
</code>
calls ivy with given ivysettings file and resolve the dependencies found in the given ivy file, and then output the classpath of resolved artifacts in cache in a file. This file can then be used to define a classpath corresponding to all the resolved dependencies for any java program.
<hr/>
<span class="since">since 1.4</span>
<code>
java org.apache.ivy.Main -conf path/to/myivysettings.xml -dependency bar foo 2.0 -main org.bar.foo.FooMain
</code>
calls ivy with given ivysettings file and resolve bar foo 2.0, and then run org.foo.FooMain class with the resolved artifacts as classpath
