How to resolve/finalize an Ivy file (descriptor) without downloading any artifacts?

Using Ivy, I'd like to run the resolve task to finalize my ivy file dependency versions, but not download artifacts.

I see that there is a type attribute on the resolve task that lets us filter for artifacts of a certain type:

The Ivy resolve task by itself does not finalize the Ivy descriptor file.

The Ivy Deliver task finalizes the Ivy descriptor file.

Running the resolve task with a blank string for the type atttribute resolves but prevents downloading any artifact dependencies:

<ivy:resolve type=""/>

For Deliver to correctly finalize the Ivy descriptor file, I must call the Resolve task as a dependency of the Deliver task (using Ant):

<target name="deliver" depends="resolve">
   <ivy:deliver/>
</target>
<target name="resolve">
   <ivy:resolve/>
</target>

Calling the Resolve and Deliver tasks as separate executions of Ant won't work.
