artifactproperty

since 1.1
Sets an ant property for each dependency artifacts previously resolved.

since 2.0 This is a post resolve task, with all the behaviour and attributes common to all post resolve tasks.

Please prefer the use of retrieve + standard ant path creation, which make your build more independent from ivy (once artifacts are properly retrieved, ivy is not required any more).

The property name and value are generated using the classical pattern concept, all artifact tokens and ivy variables being available.

since 2.0 This tag will follow the ant usual behavior for properties. If a property of the same name already exist, it's value will be unchanged. This behavior can be changed using the 'overwrite' attribute.
WARNING : Before 2.0, the behavior was to overwrite the properties. Since 2.0, the default is to not overwrite to properties


Attributes

AttributeDescriptionRequired
namea pattern used to generate the name of the properties to set Yes
valuea pattern used to generate the value of the properties to set Yes
confa comma separated list of the configurations for which properties should be set No. Defaults to the configurations resolved by the last resolve call, or * if no resolve was explicitly called
haltonfailuretrue to halt the build on ivy failure, false to continueNo. Defaults to true
validatetrue to force ivy files validation against ivy.xsd, false to force no validation No. Defaults to default ivy value (as configured in configuration file)
settingsRefA reference to the ivy settings that must be used by this task (since 2.0)No, 'ivy.instance' is taken by default.
overwriteOverwrite the value of the property if it already exist (since 2.0). Before 2.0, the properties were always overwritten.No, 'false' by default.

Example

Suppose we have one dependency called mydep in revision 1.0 publishing two artifacts: foo.jar and bar.jar.
Then: 
<artifactproperty conf="build" 
       name="[module].[artifact]-[revision]" 
       value="${cache.dir}/[module]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
will set two properties: 
mydep.foo-1.0 = my/cache/dir/mydep/foo-1.0.jar
mydep.bar-1.0 = my/cache/dir/mydep/bar-1.0.jar
