Thanks for doing the update so fast.  I wonder is there a download =
(tar.gz or similar for this)  as Unfortunatly due to company =
restrictions I cannot download from SVN or other source outside the =
firm.

Many thanks,

Checking the code, it seems that some extra attributes should be =
available, but maybe not those that you'd like...

The extra attributes which are available in pre and post =
resolve-dependency are the extra attributes you have on your dependency =
declaration, not those declared in the module descriptor of the =
dependency.

For the pre-reslve-dependency event, we can't do better, since before =
resolving the dependency we don't have the module descriptor yet. In the =
post resolve dependency, we could improve Ivy to put the extra =
attributes declared in the resolved module.

Since it's so easy to do I've just checked in a change in Ivy which =
should make these extra attributes available in post-resolve-dependency. =
Could you check it works for you? Whatever the result, could you please =
open an issue in jira at least to ask for documenting this?
