Implement ivy.home and ivy.cache

[Claudio Miranda]

I plan to store the ivy.home and ivy.cache.dir using the Java
Preferences API on the user directory.

What do you think about this ?

It is the thing to do and linked with issue-47 and issue-50.

I have that working for ivy.home.

For the default ivy cache dir, if the user doesn't provide a ivy-
settings.xml file or doesn't specify one, can we assume a $
{user.home}/.ivi2/cache ? I also have this working.
The Ivy documentation says that should be the default directory for
cache

defaultCacheDir
a path to a directory to use as default basedir for both resolution
and repository cache(s)
No, defaults to .ivy2/cache in the user's home directory

I have modified IvyLibrary class, as seen below

Basically if the default cache is the IvyJar file followed by "/
cache", it is replaced by ${user.home}/.ivy2/cache
default cache: /opt/lib/apache-ivy-2.1.0-rc2/ivy-2.1.0-rc2.jar/cache

private void configure() {
try {
ivy.configure(settingsURL);
IvySettings ivySettings = ivy.getSettings();
String ivyJarPath = System.getProperty("ivy.home");
if (ivySettings.getDefaultCache().equals(new File(ivyJarPath +
"/cache"))) {
File defaultCacheDir = new File(System.getProperty
("user.home") + "/.ivy2/cache");
ivySettings.setDefaultCache(defaultCacheDir);
}
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new IvyLibraryParsingException(e.getMessage(),
settingsURL, e);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new IvyLibraryIOException(e.getMessage(), settingsURL,
e);
}
}


The resolve and retrieve tasks work fine. But the javac compilation,
doesn't work

:: resolving dependencies :: nb1-ivy#nb1-ivy;1.0
confs: [compile, runtime, compile-test, runtime-test]

The jar files at the cache

Is there other place where the default cache dir can be configured ?

Thanks

Yes surely in ivy-impl.xml.
