== DESCRIPTION:

Apache Ivy dependency manager wrapper for ruby (see {Apache Ivy}[http://ant.apache.org/ivy/index.html] for more information).
Use {Apache Ivy}[http://ant.apache.org/ivy/index.html] via a ruby wrapper without the need to use Apache Ant.
The wrapper uses Antwrap[http://antwrap.rubyforge.org/] to interface with Ivy.

Includes a Extension for Buildr[http://buildr.apache.org/] and Rake[http://rake.rubyforge.org] to use
{Apache Ivy}[http://ant.apache.org/ivy/index.html] for dependency management.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Supports most standard Ivy Ant targets via Antwrap. Provides a caching feature so that long running ivy tasks
like resolve can be cached and are not rerun for local builds. For more information about caching see the History.txt
and checkout the source of buildr/ivy_extension.rb and rake/ivy_extension.rb.

=== Supported Ivy targets:
* info
* settings
* configure
* cleancache
* buildnumber
* findrevision
* cachepath
* artifactreport
* resolve
* makepom
* retrieve
* publish
* artifactproperty
* report
* buildlist
* deliver
* install
* repreport

=== Currently not working Ivy targets:
* listmodules

=== Ivy targets that need to be implemented:
* deliver
* install
* repreport

=== Unsupported Ivy Targets (they make no sense for the wrapper):
* cachefileset
* var

=== Caching of Ivy results:
For Buildr the targets ivy:enableresultcache, ivy:disableresultcache and ivy:cleanresultcache have been added.
Additionally the result cache can be enabled via the build.yaml or the global buildr settings.yaml by setting
the variable "ivy: caching.enabled: true".

For Rake the targets ivy:enableresultcache, ivy:disableresultcache and ivy:cleanresultcache have been added as
well. For Rake there is no other way to enable the caching beside this targets.

== SYNOPSIS:

  To init a new Ivy4r instance set the ANT_HOME and the Ivy lib dir
    ivy4r = Ivy4r.new
    ivy4r.ant_home = 'PATH TO YOUR ANTHOME'
    ivy4r.lib_dir = 'PATH TO IVY LIB DIR'
  as an alternative to setting the ANT_HOME you can set an +Antwrap+ instance directly:
    ivy4r.ant = Buildr.ant('ivy')

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Installed Apache Ant, to call Ivy via Antwrap
* Ivy and dependencies in a single directory. Dependencies depends on used features, see the ivy homepage for more information.

== INSTALL:

You can use gemcutter to install
  sudo gem install ivy4r
