Ant Ivy settings for github download

[vijay jamadade]

Hi Ranchers,

I have a requirement where i want to download jar files required for my build from one of our GIT repository which needs authentication. I am using below in my build.xml,

///
<target name="vijay" unless="ivy.installed">
<mkdir dir="${ivy.home}"/>
<get src="https://github.com/abc/module/raw/lib/apache-ant-1.7.0/ant.jar" dest="${ivy.home}/h.jar"/>
</target>
///
to download above jar. But i am getting below exception,
[get] Error opening connection java.io.FileNotFoundException:
///

Is this due to thing that my github repository needs authentication? Can I achieve this thing of downloading some jars build time from github?

That URL returns "404 Not Found". It's not a lack of authorization, it's because the file doesn't live there.

Actually, I'd expect to find a jar like that at apache.org, not github.

But unless someone has done some questionalble naming, it would appear that you are trying to use Ant to download Ant if Ant isn't already downloaded.

Thanks Tim.

but when i try to access normal GIT file which is accessible without authentication can be downloaded. Problem here is authentication might not getting applied. And its not throwing authentication related error. Other files in other repositories like https://jcenter.bintray.com/ are getting downloaded. So I think there is no issue with connection. But whatever i am trying, Is it possible? I am not getting any samples on internet. There is very limited information.
