Using the Ivy plugin together with the Artifactory plugin in Jenkins/Hudson

Question

I am trying to use the Ivy plugin (http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Ivy+Plugin) and the Artifactory plugin (http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Artifactory+Plugin).

I am gettign the following exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/ivy/core/IvyContext

According to this bug report, https://issues.jfrog.org/jira/browse/HAP-65,

The plugin intentionally relies on an external ivy configuration setup

But, nowhere can I find out how to do this external configuration. Any help would be appreciated.

I solved the problem by copying the ivy jar (ivy-2.2.0.jar) into the lib dir for the Artifactory plugin (.jenkins/plugins/artifactory/WEB-INF/lib). But I am sure there is a better way!
