[NOTE]
====
Basic publishing to an Ivy repository is very similar: you simply use the Ivy Publish Plugin, replace  `MavenPublication` with link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.IvyPublication.html[IvyPublication], and use `ivy` instead of `maven` in the repository definition.

            publishing {
                repositories {
                    ivy { url "${ivyRepo.uri}" }
                }
                publications {
                    ivy(IvyPublication) {
                        from components.java
                    }
                }
            }
        """
    }

    def "can customize descriptor xml during publication"() {
        when:

                   because 'version 1.0 is tested'
                }
            }

            publishing {
                $repositoriesBlock
                publications {
                    ivy(IvyPublication) {
                        from mainComponent
                    }
                }
            }
        """
    }

When the Java Gradle Plugin(`java-gradle-plugin`) detects that the Ivy Publish Plugin (`ivy-publish`) is also applied by the build, it will automatically configure the following link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.api.publish.ivy.IvyPublication.html[IvyPublications]:

* a single "main" publication, named `pluginIvy`, based on the <<java_plugin.adoc#sec:java_plugin_publishing,main Java component>>

            publishing {
                publications {
