Ivy: Fetching Javadocs and Sources

Question

I\'m fairly new to Ivy, but have gotten it to work with jar dependencies. The problem is trying to set it up, so I can fetch javadocs and sources independently of jars.

Answer 1

Okay, I think I've figured it out. I was over thinking this whole process. My <dependencies> section should look like this:

<dependencies>
    <dependency org="commons-logging" name="commons-logging" rev="1.1.1"
        conf="javadoc->javadoc;sources->sources;compile->default"/>
</dependencies>

This maps my javadoc to Maven's javadoc and my sources to Maven's sources. When I mapped conf="sources->default", it was mapping my sources to Maven's default which is the compile dependencies.

I can specify all the configurations in one line, and I don't need separate <artifact> entities.
