You can specify properties files to load globally via Window | Preferences | Ivy | Settings | Property Files
For project specific properties: * Right click on project * Properties * Java Build Path * Libraries tab * Edit your ivy library * Settings tab * Property files ________________________________ From: Prakash Karnati <pkarn...@sapient.com> To: "ivy-u...@ant.apache.org" <ivy-u...@ant.apache.org> Sent: Tue, April 26, 2011 8:38:12 AM Subject: Issue : In ivy xml declaration variables. I have the following ivy.xml The ${version} property is inside a build.properties, this works very well . I have other modules, where they have the same version, thus the need of a version variable. But IvyDE doesn't load the build.properties file to input the variable into the ivy.xml file. To replace every ${version} is going to be some work, for every release. So, is there any way to make IvyDE input the variable ? <dependency name="core-framework" rev="${version}" changing="true" conf="core"/> <dependency name="core-da-util" rev="${version}" changing="true" conf="core"/> <dependency name="core-profile" rev="${version}" changing="true" conf="core"/> <dependency name="core-service" rev="${version}" changing="true" conf="core"/> Prakkash K
