Description

It seems that using ivy;settings or ivy:configure task when you havn't initialized ivy.instance property doesn't work

Here is my ivy:configure

<ivy:configure settingsId="ivy.instance.project" file="${common.dir}/ivysettings.xml"  />

I'm using my own ivysettings.properties instead of the one given by ivy. My ivysettings.properties doesn't contains ivy.instance property.
Here is part of my ivysettings.xml

<ivysettings>
	<properties file="${common.dir}/ivysettings.properties" override="false"/>
        ...
</ivysettings>

And running this in debug mode i can see "Skipped because property 'ivy.instance' not set."
Consequences are, when i'm trying to use any ivy task that use this instance, i have a build failed with a message like "Reference ivy.instance.project not found."
Exemple try to use ivy:resolve

<ivy:resolve file="${ivy.file}" useCacheOnly="${ivy.use.cache.only}" settingsRef="ivy.instance.project"/>

The result is :

BUILD FAILED

Adding this property to my own ivysettings.properties, everything seems ok.

I think that when you give an settingsId (in ivy:configure) or an id in (ivy:instance) you doesn't need to use ivy.instance property.
