log4j mail config problem

I'm getting an error retrieving log4j w/javamail. I'm using:

<dependency org="org.apache.log4j" name="log4j" rev="+" conf="runtime-
>mail;compile;sources" />

Which leads to:

[ivy:retrieve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:retrieve] :: UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES ::
[ivy:retrieve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:retrieve] :: javax.mail#javamail;[1.4,2.0[: not found
[ivy:retrieve] ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It succeeds with conf="runtime->jms". It looks like the log4j ivy.xml
is specifying javamail 1.4.2+, but roundup only has javamail 1.4.1.
How do I install javamail 1.4.3 (the latest 1.4.x from sun)? Or should
the log4j accept 1.4.1?

Thanks,
Michael Abato

it should accept 1.4.1; we'll look into it

FYI,

I'm adding 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 to the repository right now...

archie, when doing that will you please test changing log4j to [1.4.0,2.0[ and or 1.+?

Um, wait a minute... log4j currently has:

<dependency org="javax.mail" name="javamail" rev="[1.4,2.0[" conf="mail->default"/>

So the problem is not the version range. I think the original problem may be due to the manual download requirement.

Michael, please read this wiki page and make sure you have the javamail archives downloaded into /tmp.

Your're right - the log4j ivy.xml does look correct.

My problem turned out to be in details I left out of the original question. I'm creating a private repository and populating it with ivy imports from roundup and I believe I mis-configured my private repository, so the import worked but the test retrieve failed as described. Fixing the ivyconfig for the target repository corrected the problem.

Misreading the syntax of '[1.4,2.0[' - I saw 1.4.2 - led me to think the problem was upstream in ivyroundup.

Upgrading to 1.4.3 does make sense regardless. That was probably the most confusing thing when I was configuring ivy - should I pull down 1.4.1, 1.4.3, both?
