# resources

(since 2.3) (Ant 1.7 required)
`ivy:resources` is an Ant resource collection, which files are based on an Ivy resolve, and then can be used with any task which is working with resources like `copy` or `import`.
This datatype share the same attributes, child elements and behaviour of a post resolve task. It is not expected to be used as an Ant task though, only as a resource collection.
