Gil Portenseigne commented on OFBIZ-5464:
-----------------------------------------
To open a branch it needs to have people motivated into realising this POC, if some shows up why not. But argument of control about the delivery is quite important. I personaly don't feel the need of it, yet. Big download do not bother me, the fact that you'll have to download the lib one day. If Apache Infra do not complain about storage space...
> 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.
