I've found the "Beginner's Guide to Setup Xuggler" article from here. I was trying to follow the best chosen answer. While going through the steps, I got stuck @ "Run ivy from command-line as follows:" I didn't had Ivy at first, so I headed to Ivy's download page, and downloaded from the Snapshot Build section of the site. Then, I tested with both jar files, but while running the command stated in the Beginner's Guide, I'm getting this message: "ivy configuration file not found: ivysettings.xml". So, what did I do wrong, need I follow the "Building from source" section from the site? If so, can you please give me a detailed description of how to do it, I'm kinda new in these things. Long story short, I need to know how o get a legit "ivy.jar" file as stated in the command line of the Guide.

Ok, so I've solved the problem my own way, kind of. So, I'm gonna share it here so that other fellows like me may profit from it. So, what I did was that I (obviously) downloaded Xuggler 5.4. Then, I downloaded its dependencies manually as listed here. Then, on my IDE, I just had to import Xuggler and all of its dependencies which I previously downloaded and BAM, it worked like a charm. So, if any of you are having problem finding those dependencies or have any queries concerning this "unofficial" method of mine, you can contact me via email. I'll gladly help. :)
I don't know from Xuggler, but... the error message said you're missing ivysettings.xml. The message is probably from ivy.jar, so you definitely have that. ivysettings.xml is a required Ivy config file that tells what repositories you want to pull jars from. There may be a default one in the Xuggler distro, but probably not. You need to look at the ivy documentation to get farther. Or, use Maven instead. While I'm not a fan of Maven, for this kind of situation it may be easier.

@SHA33, you might want to post your comment as an answer. It's not considered "bad form" at all. – Ed Staub Mar 29 '13 at 15:34
