Xavier, Thanks for the quick response, as requested I've opened a JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1015 I'm hoping this will be as simple as creating an extra constructor with a boolean flag to disable System property lookups but I have to admit that I've not investigated all of the Ivy code to see if the problem is isolated to this one class.
