Tag: modules
Defines per module or module set settings.
The rules are given by defining a module set, using pattern for module organisation and name, and giving some settings for the set, like the name of the corresponding resolver to use.
If no rule match a given module, the default setting will be used.
Even if not required, because the use of a default big resolver (chain, for instance) able to resolve all dependencies can answer all the needs, the configuration of smaller resolvers used for different cases can improve performances a lot. For instance, if you have a local repository for your modules and a distant repository for third party libraries, it is a good idea to have two separate resolvers, and configure ivy to use one for all your modules and another for the rest (the default one).

Tag: module
Define a module set rule. The tag defines a module set, by giving an expression and the matcher to use for organisation and name (for instance, you can use * to specify all).
It also gives the specific setting to use for this module set.
For each module set, you can configure:
| Attribute | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| organisation | the name of the organisation to which apply the resolver. May be a regexp. | Yes |
| name | the name of the module to which apply the resolver. May be a regexp. | Yes |
| matcher | the matcher to use to match the modules to which the resolver should be applied since 1.3 | No, defaults to exactOrRegexp in pre 1.3 ivy files, and exact in 1.3 and superior |
| resolver | the name of the resolver to apply. The resolver must have been defined in the resolvers section of the configuration file. | No |
| conflict-manager | the name of the conflict manager to apply. since 1.4 | No |
| branch | the default branch to apply. since 1.4 | No |
