Quoting Xavier Hanin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
It's usually because you define properties in Ant and not in Ivy settings. Are you sure the properties file is loaded in your ivy settings? If you prefer to load them in Ant for your Ant build, then you can use a settings file only for IvyDE which just import your main settings (those you use in Ant) and load the properties file you want.
One related issue we ran into a while ago was that our ant script imported environment variables into properties, some of which (for instance a repo url) are then referenced in ivy settings.
Obviously that broke in IvyDE as Ivy doesn't support drawing from the environment. I was going to submit a patch, but then realized it would require JDK 1.5, and Ivy seems trying to maintain 1.4 compatibility.
