Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5464:
-------------------------------------
It is also a pity, that we didn't open a development branch to show how it could work as a Proof of Concept.
Using IVY could address the issue that Jacopo recently raised regarding external dependency management.
> Extend Ivy usage for easier external lib management

> Key: OFBIZ-5464
> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5464> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL COMPONENTS, framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Attachments: jarfiles.txt
>
>
> Currently Apache Ivy is used to facilitate downloads of specific external jar files for Activemq, mySQL, postgreSQL configuration and Sonar and Cobertura functions.
> However, Apache Ivy can also be for easier management of the standard jars OFBiz is dependent on, in
> - various framework areas
> - various base and special purpose applications/components.
> Applying more ivy functionality will decrease the load on commiters regarding maintenance of (and upgrading) external jars used and required licence information.
