Description

In a typical scenario, developers only store ivy files and artifacts on the local file system when they are unavailable from remote repositories. The ivy resolver needs to handle the following cases:

1) Ivy file on filesystem and artifact on remote repo.
2) Ivy file on remote ivy repo and artifact on file system.
3) Both Ivy file and artifact on filesystem.
4) Ivy file on remote ivy repo and artifact on remote repo.

Currently this can be accomplished with a verbose resolver definition in the ivyconf.xml.

Since this is a typical use case, I think it would be in ivy's best interest to come out of box with a resolver which handles this scenario.
