IvySvn is a resolver for Ivy 2.0 which uses Subversion for storing artifacts for use in Ivy's publish and retrieve operations. Ivy is a dependency manager for Java which can be integrated into Ant builds to allow for retrieval of artifacts (e.g. third-party jar files) which your project may depend on as well as publication of artifacts (e.g. your own .jar/.war/.ear/.tgz files etc.) that your build generates. Subversion is not supported "out of the box" by Ivy itself, which is the gap that IvySvn aims to fill.
