Hi.

I'm currently evaluating Ivy 2.0.0 for our dependency management. I like what I've seen so far, but now I've run into trouble.

We use JSFUnit for our testcases and we use the snapshot versions.

To make Ivy fetch these dependencies I have the following ivy settings: (the properties file contains only version numbers and repository locations)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivysettings>
    <settings defaultResolver="default"/>
    <properties file="${ivy.settings.dir}/ivysettings.properties"/>
    <caches artifactPattern="[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"
            checkUpToDate="true"/>
    <resolvers>
        <filesystem name="project">
            <ivy pattern="${basedir}/lib/ivy-repo/[organisation]/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
            <artifact pattern="${basedir}/lib/ivy-repo/[organisation]/[module]/[artifact]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"/>
        </filesystem>
        <ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" root="${central.repo}"  />
        <ibiblio name="jboss" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" root="${jboss.repo}" />
        <ibiblio name="jboss-snapshot" m2compatible="true" usepoms="true" root="${jboss.snapshotrepo}"  />
        <ibiblio name="java.net" root="${java.net.repo}"
                 pattern="[organization]/jars/[module]-[revision].[ext]"/>
        <chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
            <resolver ref="project" />
            <resolver ref="central"/>
            <resolver ref="jboss-snapshot"/>
            <resolver ref="jboss"/>
            <resolver ref="java.net"/>
        </chain>
    </resolvers>
</ivysettings>

And try to fetch jsfunit snapshot with an ivy.xml file:

<ivy-module version="2.0"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:m="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/maven"
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
    <info organisation="com.blipsystems.analyzer" module="test-jsf"/>
    <configurations>
        <conf name="default" transitive="false"/>
        <conf name="jsfunit" transitive="true"/>
    </configurations>
    <dependencies defaultconf="default">

        <dependency org="org.jboss.jsfunit" name="jboss-jsfunit" rev="1.0.0.GA-SNAPSHOT" conf="jsfunit->default" />
        <!--<dependency org="org.jboss.jsfunit" name="jboss-jsfunit-core" rev="1.0.0.GA-SNAPSHOT" changing="true" conf="jsfunit->default" />-->


        <!--<dependency org="org.jboss.jsfunit" name="jboss-jsfunit-ant" rev="1.0.0.GA-SNAPSHOT" changing="true" conf="jsfunit->default" />-->
        <!--<dependency org="org.jboss.jsfunit" name="jboss-jsfunit-richfaces" rev="1.0.0.GA-SNAPSHOT" changing="true" conf="jsfunit->default" />-->
        <!--<dependency org="org.jboss.jsfunit" name="jboss-jsfunit-analysis" rev="1.0.0.GA-SNAPSHOT" changing="true" conf="jsfunit->default" />-->
        <!-- snip other dependencies for default configuration -->

    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>


The following is the output of a <ivy:resolve> run from ant with verbose output:

The jboss-jsfunit is a pom declaring only dependencies with no jars, but Ivy apparently expects an jar to download? Ivy identifies the correct snapshot version, but I don't get why it tries to download the jboss-jsfunit jar.

I've tried listing the stuff I need from jsfunit (jboss-jsfunit-core etc) but these poms have a <parent> attribute naming jboss-jsfunit and ivy resolves this parent regardless of transitive settings.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in Ivy?
