What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

I have used Apache ant before and this being the subsidiary of that, we can expect this to be really good.

very good for managing transitive dependencies. This uses XML declaration for maintaining project dependencies so this is absolutely one plus point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

It has been written in java and can be used for java platform, even though it has been written in java you can expect this for only resolving dependencies issue. Not for complete build tool for which you can use Apache Maven Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

If you are a java developer and you want to maintain project dependencies let Apache Ivy do the job. It is a very good product from Apache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apart from only it focuses on project dependencies there is not much of business problems. This is completely open source and that is the main benefit with Apache license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

Having used Apache Ant, I love how they kept the flow the same. If you have any experience with Ant you will not have any problems with Ivy. The ease of use of this product is amazing. The solid nature of the stability of this product is next to none. I love how easily this product integrates with Ant. Once integrated i love how easy it is to use and administrate this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

Not a lot of issues so far. We have not been using Ivy for too long but all in all solid product so far. I suppose if you dont have Apache Ant experience there would be a slight learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

If you are looking for a solid bolt on to integrate with Ant, this is it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Ivy we are able to help our clients map out their dependencies with ease. We are getting to solid nature of Apache in another great bolt on. The benefits of using this are tremendous. With this product you are able to easily integrate with Ant. You are also able to easily link all of your dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

Apache Ivy leverages flexibility and configurability. It is essentially agnostic to processes and is not tied to any methodology or structure. Instead it provides the flexibility and configurability needed to be adapted to a wide range of dependency management and build processes. More over, strong integration with Ant Apache

Although available as a standalone tool, Apache Ivy works particularly well with Apache Ant, providing a number of powerful Ant tasks ranging from dependency resolution to dependency reporting and publishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

Apache Ivy is not as powerful as more modern technologies like Gradle, in which you can code whatever you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

Apache Ivy is not a modern technology. I'd consider other building tools options as Maven or Gradle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

Ivy makes organizing dependencies easy and efficient. You can pull in a jar you need for your project and ivy takes care of the dependencies for that jar lib so you don't have to. You don't have to import common jar libraries constantly across different projects you can utility a single Ivy repo. Very customizable in that you can set Ivy to pull certain versions of the library or specify the most recent version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

I feel there is a big learning curve to Ivy, but I myself can not compare it to other dependency management tools to get a feel for the complexity level. Overall I think its a solid tool to have and it does make my life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

Solid dependency management tool. One of the top tools in the business can not go wrong with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ivy gives us the benefit of controlling what libraries are incorporated in our products and lets us have a standard set of libraries. This also makes it easier to manage and control when upgrading to newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ivy can be seen as an extension of Apache Ant that deals essentially with management the dependencies of a project, reporting and publication. It is a very flexible tool

and configurable, in fact it can be adapted to a wide range of dependency management.

It also has a powerful transitive dependency management engine.

Pros.

• Configurability;

• Requirements and hardware resources required for the operation of the instrument; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

Ivy has not great user interface,

CONS:

• Time to create a script;

• Difficulty of learning;

• Integration with other tools; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

If you are looking for a tool to solve java dependencies simple and well integrated with ANT, IVY is the solution.

It is necessary to know the ANT syntax well, but it is not much effort, in a short time you will be able to set up an enterprise project suitable for all CI / CD configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apache Ivy is a tool specifically aimed at managing dependencies, we are using it autonomously or in synergy with Ant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It uses java platform and complete knowledge of java is necessary. resolves project related dependencies but not a complete build tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very good for solving any project's transitive dependencies working in a team and agile environement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has main focus only on managing dependencies whereas other Apache software like Maven helps as complete build tool. Best advantage is its completely open source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

Ivy increments ant funcionalities, creates a simplier buiding process and avoids to copy library manually when come a developer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

beginning configuration is more complex than maven, and maven has more native functions like junit and Cobbertura Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

Ivy is a good plugin of ant, but other bulding like maven seems more inegated with others plugin to check quality of code and to check error Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ivy increments ant funcionality and I reached the main goal to constrain all developer to use libraries version validated and defined on repository sonatype, so we had control on library and their version: infact i configured ivy to link the enterprise repository of libraries nexus sonatype based. On more I used it with jenckins and so it became easier the process to building in different ambients (develop server ,test server, production server) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Ivy?

Ivy is a dependency manager that can easily be integrated in ant projects, so you can work with dependencies stored in Nexus even if your project does not have a maven structure.

Functionality is simple, and there is a good documentation on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Ivy?

I would have appreciated more documentation with users examples.

There are only mailing lists, and I don't think it is a good way to look for information.

Guidelines and functional examples on how to generate full dependencies graphical reports would be great also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Ivy:

In case you cannot use maven, ivy is a good option.

Moreover it is still a live project, with regular releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Ivy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Actually we built a full architecture for a new kind of applications, with ant & ivy. Users only have to declare their dependencies in the ivy.xml file, and our process runs the full build and package, enabling continuous integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
