Description

At the moment, the cache contains two types of data:

• downloaded artifacts (jars and ivy files)
• metadata files containing resolve results
  It would be good if we could specify different cache locations for each type.

We could also for instance make these locations configurable with the following properties:
ivy.cache.artifacts
ivy.cache.metadata
The default for both properties could be the current Ivy cache directory.
