title: How to configure Ivy for Ant build
body: <p>I currently have <code>ANT_HOME</code> located at <code>/home/&lt;myuser&gt;/ant/1.8.4/ant-1.8.4</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I just downloaded <a href="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/download.cgi" rel="noreferrer">the Apache Ivy tarball that includes its dependencies</a>. I extracted it to <code>/home/&lt;myuser&gt;/ivy/2.3.0-rc1/ivy-2.3.0-rc1</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I then copied <code>/home/&lt;myuser&gt;/ivy/2.3.0-rc1/ivy-2.3.0-rc1/lib/*.jar</code> to <code>ANT_HOME/lib</code>. If my understanding of how Ant works with plugins/extensions is correct, then Ant should now be able to access all of Ivy's tasks at runtime.</p>
  
  <p>My next question is, how do I define Ivy tasks inside my Ant buildfile? Say I want to use <code>ivy-retrieve</code>, <code>ivy-resolve</code> and <code>ivy-publish</code> tasks. What are all the configurations I need to do (in the XML) to get these tasks working when I run my Ant build from the command-line (I will not be building through the Ant-Eclipse plugin). Thanks in advance!</p>
