They are quite distinct products, Ivy is really just a dependency management and artifact publishing tool, whereas maven is a framework offering that and much much more. I used Ivy before m2 came out for dependency management in Csharp. It is very good at what it does, but is a fraction of whats offered by maven.

The only thing that is really helpful in Ivy when looking at this page is the fact that you can choose between optional dependencies. I think Maven could use such a concept too. regards, Wim 2006/5/22, Jeff Mutonho <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On 5/22/06, Wim Deblauwe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I really love Maven, but people in my organisation seem to have > > noticed > Ivy. > > I have not used Ivy, but I really like those nice screenshots.
