------------------------------------------------------------

I kind of feel like webdav alone is an important enough aspect for future ivy users that it would be good to have a resolver specifically for it, Jackrabbit (http://jackrabbit.apache.org/) is the probably the implementation we should use until vfs moves over to using it. 

I guess the question is, is the feature important enough for Ivy to be a complete tool that Ivy writes it's own impl for webdav, or wait for commons-vfs to have it.

I'd vote that webdav support as a feature of the tool overrides waiting for library support.

> The commons-vsf project has been split into commons-vfs.jar and commons-vfs-sandbox.jar. The webdav support is provided by commons-vfs-sandbox.jar, see http://commons.apache.org/vfs/index.html : "Due to some technical reasons we had to move the webdav and jcifs (smb) filesystem to the sandbox. So if you need one of these filesystems you have to build VFS manually."
> Ivy does not come with commons-vfs-sandbox.jar and I believe it should in order to prevent its users from the hassle of building commons-vfs themselves. I myself built it from commons-vfs 1.0 source.
