Apache Ivy follows Maven principles and comes with lot of default configurations. Default settings can be overridden by defining a ivysettings.xml file.

<ivysettings>
   <properties file="${ivy.settings.dir}/ivysettings-file.properties" />
   <settings defaultCache="${cache.dir}" defaultResolver="ibiblio" checkUpToDate="false" />
   <resolvers>
      <ibiblio name="ibiblio" />
      <filesystem name="internal">
         <ivy pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/ivy-[revision].xml" />
         <artifact pattern="${repository.dir}/[module]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
      </filesystem>
   </resolvers>
   <modules>
      <module organisation="howcodex" name=".*" resolver="internal" />
   </modules>
</ivysettings>
