Description

A nice enhancement to the standalone capabilities of Ivy would be to execute a main class in a dependant jar so that a program could be started in a single VM. To do so, Ivy would have to instantiate a custom classloader passing the file locations of the dependant jars in the ivy cache to the classloader.
