API Documentation:IvyModuleDescriptorSpec

The descriptor of any Ivy publication.

Corresponds to the XML version of the Ivy Module Descriptor.

The IvyModuleDescriptorSpec.withXml(org.gradle.api.Action) method can be used to modify the descriptor after it has been generated according to the publication data. However, the preferred way to customize the project information to be published is to use the dedicated configuration methods exposed by this class, e.g. IvyModuleDescriptorSpec.description(org.gradle.api.Action).

Note that due to Gradle's internal type conversion system, you can pass a Groovy closure to this method and it will be automatically converted to an Action.

Each action/closure passed to this method will be stored as a callback, and executed when the publication that this descriptor is attached to is published.
