Hi,

I have a basic ivy configuration:

<ivyconf>
        <conf   defaultResolver="bk-repository"
            defaultConflictManager="all" />             <!-- in order to
get all
revisions without any eviction -->

        <resolvers>
            <filesystem name="bk-repository">
                <ivy pattern="${dest.repo.dir
}/[organisation]/[module]/ivys/ivy-[revision].xml"/>
                <artifact
pattern="${dest.repo.dir
}/[organisation]/[module]/[type]s/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]"/>
            </filesystem>
        </resolvers>
</ivyconf>


The cache is then set to .ivy in the user's home directory. I would
like to create an ant-target that deletes the cache directory. Can I
get to a property that will point to the default cache-location?

No, unfortunately the cache location is not stored in an ant property. So
the solution is to do what john recommend. You can also submit an
improvement in jira.

I

have run the configure task with ant -v and got the following snippet:

[...]
ivy-configure:

1.4.1.jar!/fr/jayasoft/ivy/ant/antlib.xml

[...]

The used cache location is outputted, but I cannot tell whether ivy
stores the cache location somewhere.
