You can do "java -jar ivy.jar --help" to see the options you have,
when
running on standalone. You'll still need (at least) an ivy.xml, IIUC.
But using Ivy as a library providing a cli client which constructs the
necessary objects in memory would make this unnecessary, I think.

You can have separate servers for ivy.xmls and artifacts. However the
problem is that this is configured on a per repository basis. So one
can't
have to two ivy.xmls in the same repository with different artifact
patterns.
At least that is my understanding.

I think the need is already there: any system not leveraging the
existing Maven and Ivy repos is pretty uninteresting given the
easy integration with Java libraries.
