Some time ago, it was noted that the usage of a jar download and handling mechanism would greatly help Cocoon, because it makes it easy to share jars and to download only the ones needed.
Ivy was proposed as a possible solution, but I suggested instead to use the Maven code, for the sake of not duplicating efforts; unfortunately at that time it was not ready and the proposal stalled.
Finally, Maven has released tasks that enable Ant builds to use the artifact handling [1].
Isn't it time that we actually do it? :-)
Yeah, cool! Even cooler now that the Ivy folks have decided to build their own repository.
+1!
