Thanks Maarten!
I've actually read that page, but what confused me was that the
properties element was supposed to load a properties file, not set a
property.
Anyway, for future reference, here is a snippet that works for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ivysettings>
<properties environment="env"/>
<property name="ivyhome" value="${env.IVY_HOME}"/>
<caches default="default">
<cache name="default" basedir="${ivyhome}/cache"/>
</caches>
<!-- ... -->
</ivysettings>
cheers,
Greg
