<b>Tag:</b> modules <span class="tagdoc" id="ivysettings.modules">Defines per module or module set settings.</span> The rules are given by defining a module set, using pattern for module organisation and name, and giving some settings for the set, like the name of the corresponding resolver to use. If no rule match a given module, the default setting will be used. Even if not required, because the use of a default big resolver (chain, for instance) able to resolve all dependencies can answer all the needs, the configuration of smaller resolvers used for different cases can improve performances a lot. For instance, if you have a local repository for your modules and a distant repository for third party libraries, it is a good idea to have two separate resolvers, and configure ivy to use one for all your modules and another for the rest (the default one). <h1>Child elements</h1> <table class="ivy-children"> <thead> <tr><th class="ivy-chld">Element</th><th class="ivy-chld-desc">Description</th><th class="ivy-chld-card">Cardinality</th></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>[[settings/module]]</td><td>defines a module set rule</td> <td>1..n</td></tr> </tbody> </table>
