I was not talking about splitting the binary/source distribution. I think we have to keep them simple, and I'm thus rather in favour of having a single ivy.jar. And if we want to put it into the ant project, we can use this single jar. The idea that I proposed of splitting it further was only for the distribution that we have in the maven repository. Some users might want to have only the core some will use an ftp resolver, other will also require the ant tasks, etc. I think it could make sense to split that into individual jars when published in the maven repository. That would allow the user to only get the class that he need. But that's not for now. Before we can do that, we will have to agree on what is the API that we publish and for which we are willing to keep good backward compatibility.
