resources


(since 2.3) (Ant 1.7 required)
ivy:resources is an Ant resource collection, which files are based on an Ivy resolve, and then can be used with any task which is working with resources like copy or import.

This datatype share the same attributes, child elements and behaviour of a post resolve task. It is not expected to be used as an Ant task though, only as a resource collection.
