Apache Ivy Reviews & Product Details

I love the layout of this software makes it very intuitive and easy to use along with the great training guides that came with the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I did not like about Apache was that the implementation went kind of rough because our consultant was not the best at explaining the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To start about Apache Ivy, it is very new and clean regarding its purpose and function. It is true that when I encountered and used this software, I found it incredible because it is so simple. It is easy to download and works for PCs without much memory capacity. In truth, I really liked its way of operation and the trajectory that Apache Ivy has. Without a doubt, it is on the right track, providing us with excellent alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apache Ivy is very well known but very little used. It needs to be published across several networks so that more people can access it and more people who are looking for new projects can use it. It is necessary for it to be well known for the realization of projects and subprojects in the most professional way possible thanks to this software. It should be noted that it has very little variability and limited theme configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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 don't have Apache Ant experience there would be a slight learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Software license;

• Flexibility;

• Configurability;

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

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.

I had a good working experience with Apache Ivy, it helps in removing transitive project dependencies. This dependency manager provides flexibility and simplicity. 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.

Ivy enhances Ant functionalities, creates a simpler building process, and avoids manually copying libraries when a developer joins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial configuration is more complex than Maven, and Maven has more native functions like JUnit and Cobertura. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
