How to print Ivy's cachepath one artifiact per line with Ant

Many moons ago one Andrew Beacock shared how to use to dump out a classpath in a human-readable fashion (see http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2005/08/pretty-printing-java-classpaths-using.html). The amount of Ant pain this gem saved me back in the day is ... well a lot.

Fast forward to 2011 and we're using Ant with Ivy as our dependency manager. We use Ivy's retrieve Ant task to get our artifacts but how do we print out a simple list of what Ivy got for us? Well, it turns out cachepath can get this for us, optionally filtered if we see fit:

<!-- after a resolve; in our case this target depends on our resolving target -->
    <ivy:cachepath pathid="ivy.cachepath" settingsRef="ivy.settings" />
    <pathconvert pathsep="${line.separator}  "
                 property="dependency.list"
                 refid="ivy.cachepath"/>
    <echo>DEPENDENCY LIST</echo>
    <echo>  ${dependency.list}</echo>

This will print something along the lines of:

[echo]   C:\...\.ivy2\cache\org.slf4j\slf4j-api\jars\slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
     [echo]   C:\...\.ivy2\cache\org.slf4j\jcl-over-slf4j\jars\jcl-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar
     [echo]   C:\...\.ivy2\cache\org.slf4j\log4j-over-slf4j\jars\log4j-over-slf4j-1.6.1.jar
     [echo]   C:\...\.ivy2\cache\ch.qos.logback\logback-classic\jars\logback-classic-0.9.28.jar
     [echo]   C:\...\.ivy2\cache\ch.qos.logback\logback-core\jars\logback-core-0.9.28.jar

Once in a while this is a lifesaver as it makes it easy to see a simple list of our dependencies. Since we print it out line-by-line it's now nice and easy to grep through and find specific things. Like say what version of the components in such and such a group we are getting.
