Problem using accumulo artifacts from ivy

Defining an accumulo dependency in an ivy.xml file for any Accyumulo version greater than 1.4.4 results in the following error

[ivy:resolve] 		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] 		::          UNRESOLVED DEPENDENCIES         ::
[ivy:resolve] 		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] 		:: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;${slf4j.version}: not found
[ivy:resolve] 		::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[ivy:resolve] 

The issue appears to be that in the parent pom.xml, slf4j.version is only defined in profiles. Ivy doesn't load profiles when pulling from a maven repo, so the ${slf4j.version} is never set.

One possible fix is to define a property earlier with the version, and allow the profiles to overwrite.
