Ivy newbie here.

We have a fairly large project with dependencies on maybe 40 open-source pa=
ckages available from Maven (we have a local Nexus repository for caching).

Many of these open-source packages have their own dependencies, expressed i=
n their POM files.  From reading the Ivy docs, I believe I'm correct in sta=
ting that those dependencies, and any further transitive dependencies, woul=
d not be processed by Ivy since Ivy doesn't do POMs.

Do I have to hand-build that web of dependencies, to ensure that all the re=
quired libraries get retrieved, or is there a tool to POM dependencies into=
 Ivy files, and maintain them as the underlying POMs change?

Thanks in advance
