Unable to add jar file to .ivy cache manually

Question

I am trying to manually add lucene jar file to my local ivy repository. I have other apache jars so under the existing folder .ivy2\\cache\\apache.org\\ I\'ve created a fold

Answer 1

The ivy cache is not a repository, it's a cache (Different to Maven). The cache contains metadata files that record what ivy has previously downloaded.

I suggest you place files into ivy's local repository location which stored (by default) alongside the cache:

$HOME/.ivy2/local

So in your example the jar needs to be stored here:

$HOME/.ivy2/local/org.apache/lucene/3.0.3/jars/lucene.jar
