It's a shame that ivy-local isn't available in EPEL7.
Is this because it's part of javapackages-tools and RH has an older version packaged in RHEL7, so javapackages-tools cannot be updated?

If that's the case, it might be helpful if the ivy-local stuffs could be shipped separately for EPEL7.

Related: Does anybody have a good example ant/ivy package building in EPEL7 I can peek at? I'm trying to get zookeeper packaged in EPEL7, but I really don't know how to make things work without ivy-local. I'm a maven person, and ivy is a so completely foreign to me, I'm not sure where to start. I know it's possible to resolve locally, but I'm just not sure how to make it work, and I learn best by example. Any help is appreciated.
