Ivy - Resolvers

Just like JRE uses ClassLoaders to find and load classes, Ivy uses Resolvers to find and download jars.

Ivy comes with standard Resolvers. But anyone can write custom Resolvers if they want to.

Each Resolver has its won specific way of configuration, which tells it where to download the jars from.

By default, Ivy will use its standard Resolvers configured in a standard way.

If necessary, you can override the standard settings to tell Ivy to use a Resolver of your choice, configured your way.

In an upcoming post, we will use a Resolver to  direct Ivy to use a non-default repository.
