== 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/] to use {Apache Ivy}[http://ant.apache.org/ivy/index.html]
for dependency management.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Supports most standard Ivy Ant targets via Antwrap.

=== 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

== 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 ANTHME'
    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:

* sudo gem install ivy4r
