Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-748:
----------------------------------

The bin distrib already use a pretty similar mechanism, just less user friendly: in the bin distrib we provide ivy.jar, and a build.xml using ivy.jar to download the dependencies described in the ivy.xml. This requires to have Ant installed as well. 

But I like your idea of a webstart installer based on Ivy itself to download the dependencies required per profile.

> Currently we package in bin-with-deps distribution all Ivy dependencies, including ant jar. But this doesn't make sense, people who want to use Ivy with Ant will first install Ant, then Ivy. So we should exclude ant jar from our bin-with-deps distributions format.
