Ivy support in Grails 1.1
January 30th, 2009 | Published in java
I was just going through the Grails 1.1 beta 3 release notes and found that Grails 1.1 is not only going to support Maven but also has Ivy support for those who prefer using Ant.
Good news in my opinion. I still use Ant quite a bit, on projects that are not standard enough to be handled by Maven. Also i think that once you’ve created a library with standardized ant macro’s the need for Maven gets quite low. But library dependency management is one of the things i really value on projects. Ivy is a really good solution for dependency management on Ant projects. Good to see it included in Grails.
