Ivy + eclipse runtime dependencies deployment

Question

I have an eclipse project with IvyDE managed dependencies

My IvyDE is something like:

<ivy-module version="2.0" 
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
     <info organisation="R01"
           module="myModule"
           status="integration">
     </info>

     <configurations>
         <conf name="compile" description="Used only at compile time; not deployed to the server" />
         <conf name="runtime" extends="compile" description="Deployed to the server"/>
     </configurations>

     <dependencies>
         <dependency org="com.sun.jersey" name="jersey-core" rev="1.9.1" conf="runtime"/>            
         <dependency org="javax.ws.rs" name="jsr311-api" rev="1.1.1" conf="compile"/>
     </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

I have dependencies needed at compile-time and dependencies needed at runtime

I don't know if this is possible with apache IVY in eclipse (IvyDE) but I want to deploy to the server ONLY the RUNTIME-dependencies.

Now the only solution I've found is:

• set IvyDE to resolve ALL (compile + runtime) dependencies and set the module classpath
• add the [Ivy] library to the [DeploymentAssembly] at the project properties

This way all the dependencies (including the compile-time dependencies) are deployed to the server...

Is there any way to achieve this???

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I answer my own question.

Finally I managed to get have TWO different ivy-managed classpath libraries, one used at compile-time and the other at run-time

The trick is include TWO ivyDE-managed dependencies:

One ivyDE managed dependency should be for COMPILE configuration and the other for RUNTIME configuration:

(repeat for the RUNTIME configuration)

Then it's only a matter of setting:

• ivy dependency for COMPILE config should be a [Project Library]
• ivy dependency for RUNTIME config should be at [Deployment Assembly]

That's all!
