Maven and Ivy appreciation from Ivan Moore

Hi Ivan,

Ivy does transitive dependency management, but none of the other stuff. I did a project once where they retro-fitted ivy to get rid of hundreds of binary dependencies checked into the source repository. It worked pretty well. The developers did have to change their working practices a little to accommodate it.

Best

Julian.
