A double $-sign is used to escape this behaviour and simply use a real $-sign somewhere in your buildfile. It is reeplaced with a single $-sign. There is *no* magic with this, and putting $$ somewhere does not help you with anything, if there is no need for a $-sign. If you still have trouble with this IOException, it would be nice, if you could send some more info.
