Ok, I see. The javadoc is far from being good, it's one of the area
where Ivy still needs a lot of improvements. But your idea is
interesting and you may manage to use the API quite easily. No need
for a trigger or something like that, you can access the ivy instance
by using the last configured ivy.instance reference in the Ant
project, then you will get access to the IvySettings object on which
you can call getDefaultIvyUserDir() for instance. Does it make sense?

I'm not sure to have enough information about your build and your
setup to answer. If you use only the default settings (I try to use
settings instead of configuration to avoid confusion with module
configurations), then you won't have much control on your resolvers.
But you can still use the revision constraints expressed in your ivy
files to define what you want. But if you want to turn this on/off
from the build, it won't be of much help, unless you use ivy variables
in your ivy files... An easier way would to be to switch of settings
(one with your local repository, one without), but then you have to
provide an ivyconf.xml.

I'll keep it in mind, I'm just looking at a lot of
things together, so trying to keep the Ivy part simple
for now.  ;)
