    publishing {
      publications {
        ivy(IvyPublication) {
          descriptor {
            withXml {
              asNode().dependencies.dependency.find { it.@org == "junit" }.@rev = "4.10"
            }
          }

Note that due to Gradle's internal type conversion system, you can pass a Groovy closure to this method and it will be automatically converted to an `Action`.

Each action/closure passed to this method will be stored as a callback, and executed when the publication that this descriptor is attached to is published.
