For some reason I can't seem to resolve the dependencies of my dependencies when using a url resolver to specify a repository's location. However, when using the ibiblio resolver, I am able to retrieve them.
For example:
<!-- Ivy File -->
<ivy-module version="1.0">
<info organisation="org.apache" module="chained-resolvers"/>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" conf="default"/>
<dependency org="checkstyle" name="checkstyle" rev="5.0"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
<!-- ivysettings file -->
<ivysettings>
<settings defaultResolver="chained"/>
<resolvers>
<chain name="chained">
<url name="custom-repo">
<ivy pattern="http://my.internal.domain.name/ivy/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
<artifact pattern="http://my.internal.domain.name/ivy/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</url>
<url name="ibiblio-mirror" m2compatible="true">
<artifact pattern="http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
</url>
<ibiblio name="ibiblio" m2compatible="true"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivysettings>

Using the "ibiblio" resolver I have no problem resolving my project's two dependencies (commons-lang 2.0 and checkstyle 5.0) and checkstyle's dependencies. However, when attempting to exclusively use the "custom-repo" or "ibiblio-mirror" resolvers, I am able to resolve my project's two explicitly defined dependencies, but not checkstyle's dependencies.
Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
