How to include the name of the module+configuration into the IvyIDEA library name in Intellij

I have Web Project with an ivy.xml file with multiple configurations - compile, provided, and test. For deployment I would like to set certain dependencies to be included into the .war file (compile) but not include the other dependencies.

So far I am able to set the IvyIDEA plugin to only resolve specific ivy configurations, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to create multiple IvyIDEA libraries for each configuration.

According to the following links it is possible, but they provide no additional details:

https://github.com/guymahieu/ivyidea/issues/90

https://github.com/guymahieu/ivyidea/issues/99

According to the first link, "There is an option in the IvyIDEA configuration to include the name of the module+configuration into the IDEA library name", but I cannot find this option.

According to the second link, "In the IvyIDEA settings there is an option to create an IDEA library for each configuration", but I cannot find this option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Figured this out on my own by accident. Turns out I was looking in the wrong place.

The correct place to look is under File > Settings, or press Ctrl + Alt + S.

From there you can select IvyIDEA from the settings pane (for me it is right below Tools). In this window there is a section called "Resolved Library Naming" where you can choose to "Include Module Name" and/or "Include Configuration Name".

Once you've done this, right click on your project then select IvyIDEA > Resolve and you should see your organized libraries under "External Libraries".

Using these you can define which to deploy into your .war file.

The WAR file would be built by ANT. Use the ivy retrieve task to create a directory containing the "compile" dependencies as follows:

<ivy:retrieve pattern="${lib.dir}/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" conf="compile"/>

<war destfile="${war.file}" webxml="${resources.dir}/web.xml">
    <fileset dir="${resources.dir}" excludes="web.xml"/>
    <lib dir="${lib.dir}"/>
</war>
