How to disable the ivy cache

[Nappin, Chris (IT Services)]

Hi,

  I'm trying to use Ivy in a very simple way, to populate various
"library" directories from a local repository hand built and under
source control. Given this setup, a local cache becomes a waste of time
(and disk space).

How can I disable use of a local cache? My ivy-settings.xml contains the
following, but I still get files written to ~/.ivy2/cache:

    <property name="repository.dir" value="${basedir}/ivy-repo"/>

    <!-- prevents copying artifacts from local repository to cache -->
    <caches useOrigin="true"/>
   
    <!-- only use the local repository -->
    <settings defaultResolver="internal" validate="true"/>
   
    <resolvers>
        <!-- only use the local repository, never use ibiblio over the
internet etc... -->
        <filesystem name="internal" local="true" validate="true"
checkmodified="true" changingPattern="*">
            <ivy
pattern="${repository.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/ivy.xml" />
            <artifact
pattern="${repository.dir}/[organisation]/[module]/[artifact]-[revision]
.[ext]" />
        </filesystem>
    </resolvers>

What are the files in the ~/.ivy2/cache directory? The resolver will still
put xml files and the like there to reduce further resolve overhead...

Hi,

  The files in ~/.ivy2/cache are xml, properties, xsl and css, including
a replication of my local repository (but with xml and properties files
instead of jars).

I've managed to disable the caching of jars, but how do I disable the
cache altogether?

I think you want the properties and XML files to be cached, or else the
resolver will need to go through it's work of determining the latest dynamic
revisions, etc.

What is the problem with having those files around? They should be quite
small.
