public IvyContext()
Method Detail

getContext

public static IvyContext getContext()

setContext

public static void setContext(IvyContext context)
Changes the context associated with this thread. This is especially useful when launching a new thread, to associate it with the same context as the initial one.

Parameters:
context - the new context to use in this thread.

getIvy

public Ivy getIvy()
Returns the current ivy instance. When calling any public ivy method on an ivy instance, a reference to this instance is put in this context, and thus accessible using this method, until no code reference this instance and the garbage collector collects it. Then, or if no ivy method has been called, a default ivy instance is returned by this method, so that it never returns null.

Returns:
the current ivy instance

setIvy

public void setIvy(Ivy ivy)

getCache

public java.io.File getCache()

setCache

public void setCache(java.io.File cache)
