Not every project needs a build tool. It's better for tiny projects avoid the complex functions of a build system. But it's still necessary to use a dependency manager to use libraries that have dependencies. Ivy is a tool like that. All it can do is to generate a classpath.
If standalone Ivy can be supported, it will become easier to make tiny Java projects.
(Not Ant, though)
