> h3. Use Case
> In our legacy build system, we have an ant file which has a series of 
> property set in it which specify the versions of the dependencies in it. 
> Basically, something like this:
> {code:xml|title=depends.xml}
> <project>
>     <property name="projectA" value="1.2.3"/>
>     <property name="projectB" value="4.5.6"/>
> </project>
> {code}
> Unfortunately, these properties cannot be used in the ivy settings, as the 
> ivy settings only supports reading of properties files via the <properties/> 
> element.
> What is needed is a new type of ivy trigger which is called immediately (as 
> soon as it is defined) which can be used to call an ANT target which in my 
> case can be used to read in our depends.xml and  convert it to a properties 
> file.
> It is suggested that this new type of trigger event be called "*now*".
> h3. Example
> {code:xml|title=ivysettings.xml}
> <ivysettings>
>     <triggers>
>         <ant-build antfile="${ivy.settings.dir}/build.xml" 
> target="make-ivy-properties" event="now"/>
>         <properties file="ivy.properties" override="true"/>
>     </triggers>
> </ivysettings>
> {code}
> {code:xml|title=build.xml}
> <project name="projectX">
>     <target name="make-ivy-properties">
>         <copy file="depends.xml" tofile="ivy.properties">
>             <filterchain>
>                 <replaceregex pattern='&ltproperty="(.*)" value="(.*)"' 
> replace="\1=\2" flags="gi"/>
>             </filterchain>
>         </copy>
>     <target>
> </project>
> {code}
