Ivy used to retrieve guava, now it does not

Question

Related question: Ivy cached a dependency file, but not copy to my lib

My situation is nearly identical, except that this has been working for quite a while until recently.

Ivy retrieves other jars: transitive dependencies like com.google.code.findbugs, and specified artifacts like junit.

It does not copy the guava jar to my lib.

ivy.xml:

<ivy-module version="2.0">
    <info organisation="mine" module="external-deps"/>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="com.google.guava" name="guava" rev="14.0.1"/>
        <dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.11"/>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

Ant retrieve task:

<target name="_ivy_retrieve" depends="init-ivy">
    <ivy:retrieve type="jar" pattern="${lib.dir}/ivy/[conf]/[organisation]/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]" log="quiet"/>
    <ivy:artifactproperty conf="default" name="lib.[artifact].[type]" value="ivy/[conf]/[organisation]/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</target>

Is my ivy.xml specified incorrectly? Is my retrieve task broken? Or, did something break for the 14.0.1 distribution for Guava?

It appears that Ivy's type attribute strongly corresponds to Maven's packaging attribute. Google Guava uses package type bundle instead of jar which is used by most open source projects.

Thanks. This helped me as well. I changed the type from 'jar' to 'jar,bundle' and now it works. – Franklin Jul 08 '14 at 13:18
Note that this problem relates to [IVY-633](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-633), which was first resolved back in June 2008 for Ivy 2.0, but the resolution is incomplete and ineffective. – javabrett Sep 25 '15 at 07:07

The

type="jar"

attribute was causing the issue. Removing this corrects the problem.

And there's no need for the "log" attribute as well. – Mark O'Connor May 13 '13 at 18:50
