How to resolve dependency issues in ivy with infinispan dependency? - maven

Question

I have problems resolving dependencies of an infinispan library (infinispan-jcache). If I run ant ivy-retrieve then I got following message:
ivy-retrieve:

If I enable verbose output the problematic dependency seems to be infinispan-build-configuration-parent-9.4.8.Final.jar which simply doesn't exists in the central maven repo

Does anyone have a nice solution on how to download the infinispan version as ivy dependency? The referenced folder on maven central only has a pom-file in it. Do I maybe have to configure ivy or just use a different repository?

Answer 1

That jar doesn't exist because build-configuration has packaging pom. I have tried this locally and Ivy's dependency resolver erroneously throws a org.apache.ivy.plugins.circular.CircularDependencyException because it fails to understand the hierarchy...

This looks like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1588
If you use the latest ivy.jar built from master, it works: https://builds.apache.org/view/All/job/Ivy/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/artifact/jars/
