Hey all,

We use ivy for dependency management but now we need to depend on things that are not jars (as an example, a java keystore, a text file containing a license, a .sql file describing a db schema).

Currently we have a custom build system in ant which leverages ivy ant tasks, but we also have developers using IvyDE in Eclipse. I want to be able to publish, and consume, non-jar dependencies in both places. This means Ivy would need to be able to "unbundle" the contents of a jar/zip/whatever to a specific location on resolve.

I know that ant hooks exist to do things like this, but will they work in IvyDE? Is that the way to go? If this does require dev work, how would you expect it to be done to be most likely to be accepted as a patch?

Thanks!
