Ivy cannot download dependencies of artifact located in a local Maven repostiory
<p>I have an artifact A installed in a local Maven repository.</p>

<p>Artifact A has a number of dependencies - properly specified in its pom.</p>

<p>If I set A as a dependency in a Maven project everything is ok - both A and its dependencies are correctly downloaded. This tells me that A is properly installed in the local Maven repo, and that its dependencies have been properly specified.</p>

<p>I also have a Ant/Ivy project. I have configured ivysettings.xml in the following way (following advice taken from another answer):</p>

<pre><code>&lt;ivysettings&gt;
    &lt;settings defaultResolver="default"/&gt;
    &lt;property name="m2-pattern" value="${user.home}/.m2/repository/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision](-[classifier]).[ext]"     override="false" /&gt;
    &lt;resolvers&gt;
        &lt;chain name="default"&gt;
            &lt;filesystem name="local-maven2" m2compatible="true" &gt;
                &lt;artifact pattern="${m2-pattern}"/&gt;
                &lt;ivy pattern="${m2-pattern}"/&gt;
            &lt;/filesystem&gt;
            &lt;ibiblio name="central" m2compatible="true"/&gt;
        &lt;/chain&gt;
    &lt;/resolvers&gt;
&lt;/ivysettings&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>With this configuration, Ivy correctly downloads A, but not its dependencies (seems to completely ignore its pom file).</p>

<p>How should I have to change my setup in such a way dependencies as well will be downloaded? </p>
