ant - How do you integrate ivy with MSbuild -
what approach has worked combining ivy + msbuild?
our goal integrate ivy c#/c++ build process dependency resolution , publishing. have tried adding custom tasks @ beginning , end of build , have tried wrapping msbuild calls ant+ apache-ant-dotnet.
other options might gradle, buildr, rake.
what use?
thanks

most build technologies can use libraries found in local directory. i'd suggest using command-line ivy program populate this, @ start of build:
java -jar ivy.jar -ivy ivy.xml -settings ivysettings.xml -retrieve "lib/[conf]/[artifact].[ext]"
your dependencies listed in standard ivy file called ivy.xml. protocol, location , layout of remote repository described in ivysettings.xml
the advantage of approach (as opposed switching gradle, etc) you're not trying replace existing build tool. ivy solely concerned managing dependencies.
