Erik-Berndt Scheper commented on IVY-1003:
------------------------------------------

At the moment, transitive retrieval of javadoc and source jars is only possible by manually adding all jars to the ivy.xml file, which is tedious and error-prone.

> Currently, IVY only supports retrieving 'jar' artifacts transitively (using the 'transitive' attribute of a dependency), as documented [here|http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/ivyfile/dependency.html].
> It would be very nice if IVY would also support transitive retrieval of the source and javadoc artifacts. 
> This would require two extra attributes for the dependency element:
> * transitive-source
> * transitive-javadoc
> To ensure backwards compatibility, these attributes should be optional and should default to false.
