Ivy - Can't download because POM file and the JAR file name aren't matching patterns

Question

me again with IVY.

The problem now is that the ivy file the POM file to the JSON library is called:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/json-lib/json-lib/2.

Answer 1

It's called a classifier attribute in Maven. Try declaring your dependency as follows:

<ivy-module version='2.0' xmlns:m="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/maven">
    ..
    <dependencies>
        ..
        <dependency org="net.sf.json-lib" name="json-lib" rev="2.4"> 
            <artifact name="json-lib" type="jar" m:classifier="jdk13"/>
        </dependency>
        ..
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

This will retrieve the associated artifact rather than the default primary artifact from the Maven module.

Update

This ivy dependency declaration is functionally the same as the following in Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sf.json-lib</groupId>
  <artifactId>json-lib</artifactId>
  <version>2.4</version>
  <classifier>jdk13</classifier>
</dependency>
