Get ivy:retrieve to not copy a jar into two configurations?

I'm trying to set up my ant build so that the targets which run Ivy functions are completely separated from the ones that the continuous build and most developers run. I want one target to download updated dependencies, which I'll check in. Other targets will set up their classpath by including *.jar from the relevant directory.

I have two configurations:

<configurations>
    <conf name="compile" />
    <conf name="test" />
</configurations>

I have some dependencies:

<dependency
    org="my.org"
    name="some-lib"
    rev="latest.release"
    conf="compile->default" />
<dependency
    org="my.org"
    name="some-test-lib"
    rev="latest.release"
    conf="test->default" />

And I download those dependencies and their transitive dependencies using ivy:retrieve:

<ivy:retrieve
    pattern="lib/[conf]/[type]/[artifact]-[revisio开发者_Go百科n].[ext]"
    sync="true"
    file="ivy.xml" />

The problem is that I'm seeing some duplicates jars between the compile and the test directories, which come from transitive dependencies. Since I want to check in all these jars and use them for creating classpaths, I'd like to avoid duplicates. Is this possible?

lib/compile/jar/some-lib-1.0.jar

lib/compile/jar/slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar

lib/test/jar/some-test-lib-1.0.jar

lib/test/jar/junit-4.7.jar

lib/test/jar/slf4j-api-1.5.11.jar

This is not duplication, each configuration is a separate set of jars and the ivy restrieve task is faithly creating each set....

Perhaps it would make more sense to create the classpaths directly, rather than populating a local lib directory.

Here's a snippet of my ANT build files:

<target name="get-dependencies">
    <ivy:resolve/>

    <ivy:cachepath pathid="compile.path" conf="compile" />
    <ivy:cachepath pathid="test.path" conf="test" />
</target>

<target name="compile" depends="get-dependencies">
    <javac srcdir="src" destdir="build/classes" classpathref="compile.path"/>
</target>

I normally only use the ivy retrieve task when I need to create a local copy of a set of jars, for example assembling a web app's directory:

<ivy:retrieve pattern="build/WEB_INF/lib/[artifact].[ext]" conf="runtime"/>

Update

Another alternative is to instruct ivy to exclude the slf4j module when downloading transient dependencies, as follows:

<dependency org="my.org" name="some-lib" rev="latest.release" conf="compile->default">
    <exclude module="slf4j-api"/> 
</dependency>

<dependency org="my.org" name="some-test-lib" rev="latest.release" conf="test->default">
    <exclude module="slf4j-api"/> 
</dependency>

If I can do this through Ivy directly, that would be best. For now I've solved the problem by just deleting duplicates using ant.

Try the following. Your test should extend compile

<dependency
org="my.org"
name="some-test-lib"
rev="latest.release"
conf="**test->compile**" />

If i am right IVY should find that test extends compile and would download slf4j only once.
