[jira] Commented: (FELIX-1697) Sigil variable substitution at ant properties level does not work when loaded via ivysettings

["Derek Baum (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12762125#action_12762125 ] 

Derek Baum commented on FELIX-1697:
-----------------------------------

this is by design.

sigil repository config does not have to be loaded via Ant/Ivy, so an Ant/Ivy properties context may not be available.

This allows the sigil repository config to be used from Eclipse, where Ant properties don't exist.

However, we could pass some additional "override" propererties to use for variable expansion, which would be Ant properties when running under Ivy and Workspace properties when running under Eclipse.

> Specifically bldcommon/sigil-repos.properties contains entries of the form:
> bld-ant;dir:            ${cache.dir:-${..}/cache}/ant/lib
> This is correctly substituted if set at the System properties level i.e.
> ANT_OPTS=-Dcache.dir=/var/tmp/sigil/cache ant clean dist
> But not if set at the ant properties level
> ant -Dcache.dir=/var/tmp/sigil/cache clean dist
