At the beggining of the documentation you say "In addition you will need a minimal POM for your jar".
Are you planning to maintain dependencies in both ivy.xml / pom.xml manually? Ivy offers a task that can generate a pom.xml from a given ivy.xml ( http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/use/makepom.html). However the support is quite limited and provided many limations. I'll get back later with some additional informations on the limitations and already possible alternatives.
