If we make it possible to selet the retrieve conflict strategy, would it be ok to make the "fail"-strategy the default one?
Or maybe we could adapt the current conflict strategy to only to select the latest version of the same artifact (same name, type, extension, extra attributes) and throw an error in any other situation. In this situation, retrieving the source and classes artifacts of the same module to the same file will result in an error while retrieving the classes artifacts of version 1.0 and 1.1 of the same module will result in the current behaviour. This way, we are more or less backwards compatible, and we'll solve a very common problem Maarten ----- Original Message ---- From: Xavier Hanin <xavier.ha...@gmail.com> To: Ant Developers List <dev@ant.apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 5:06:43 PM Subject: Re: changing Ivy retrieve behaviour On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Gilles Scokart <gscok...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think failing the build is indeed the best aproach.

So I think the best would be to be able to select the retrieve conflict management strategy, or at least to have the option to use the current behaviour (simple messages) when needed.
