I am working on a new build process for my company using Ivy and an
Archiva (Maven2 based) repository. I use the Ibiblio resolver to

support was currently broken in Ivy 2.0. I need to deploy projects
in a Maven2 format for the repository and other users. I made some
changes to the MakePom task to handle projects with multiple
artifacts. I thought they may be useful so I wanted to pass them
along.
Maven2 won't create more than one uniquely named artifact for a
project, unless you set the packaging to "pom". Then you have a
separate pom for each of the artifacts, referencing the project pom
with a parent tag. They would get deployed like this:
/myorg/mymodule/1.0/mymodule-1.0.pom
/myorg/artifact-core/1.0/artifact-core-1.0.pom
/myorg/artifact-core/1.0/artifact-core-1.0.jar
/myorg/artifact-util/1.0/artifact-util-1.0.pom
/myorg/artifact-util/1.0/artifact-util-1.0.jar
I changed the MakePom task to build separate poms when it detects
uniquely named artifacts. I have 2 patterns for my SFTP resolver.
The default pattern is used when there are no declared artifacts or
when the artifact name matches the module name. I have the task
setting a property "ivy.pom.descriptor.size" with the number of
poms that were generated.
Wouldn't this property be better named "ivy.pom.descriptor.count"?
(Yes, I'm one of those people who kvetch about "less" v/s "fewer".)
I use this property to decide which pattern to use:
Default Pattern: /[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-
[revision].[ext]
Multi Artifact: /[organization]/[artifact]/[revision]/[artifact]-
[revision].[ext]
This works very well for my build process and repository, the only
thing that would be better is a resolver for Maven2 that does all
of this automatically. A good Maven2 resolver should build and
publish the poms automatically, without calling MakePom or
declaring them as artifacts. Use the Ibiblio functionality for
reads, webdav for writes and handle multiple artifact projects with
a different pattern.
