Intermittent error 'no appropriate method found for adding cache on class'

[Carlton Brown <cb...@gmail.com>]

Yesterday some of our Jenkins builds began failing intermittently with the
stack trace below.   We are using Ivy 2.2.0.   I can't think of anything
that has changed recently in our scripts or environment.   The strange
thing is that all the Ivy tasks in this ant script were successful,
including resolve, until attempting publish at the final step.   What could
cause this?
