It would be great if we can access extra attributes supplied at the info level 
of a resolved dependency.
See below mail thread for more information.

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?
