var
Sets a variable (by name and value), or set of variables (from file or url) in ivy.
Variables are case sensitive.
Contrary to ant properties, ivy variables are mutable. But a problem with this is that you do not control when variables are substituted, and usually it is done as soon as possible. So changing the value of a variable will have no effect if it has already been substituted. Consequently, using this task is NOT recommended. See reference page for details about ivy variables.
