dependencies

Tag: dependencies Parent: ivy-module

Container for dependency elements, used to describe the dependencies of this module.
If this container is not present, it is assumed that the module has no dependency at all.

This container provides for two similar behaviors. An overview is given here. (See configurations doc page for more details about these behaviors).

since 1.1

defaultconf

Defines the conf attribute to use when no conf is defined for a dependency in this ivy file. It is only used when no conf mapping is defined, and has no influence in other cases.

since 1.3

defaultconfmapping

Influences the way that a conf mapping with no mapped conf is interpreted.

In Ivy 2.1.0 and earlier, if both defaultconf and defaultconfmapping are defined, it's the defaultconfmapping that is used. Since Ivy 2.2.0, these attributes can be used together.

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Required
defaultconf	the default configuration to use when none is specified in a dependency. since 1.1	No, defaults to *->*
defaultconfmapping	the default configuration mapping to use in this ivy file. since 1.3	No, defaults to no default conf mapping

Child elements

Element	Description	Cardinality
dependency	declares a dependency for this module	0..n
exclude	excludes artifacts, modules or whole organizations from the set of dependencies of this module since 2.0	0..n
override	specify an override mediation rule, overriding the revision and/or branch requested for a transitive dependency since 2.0	0..n
conflict	specify a a conflict manager for one or several dependencies since 2.0	0..n
