Well, you can do pretty much what you want with Ivy, since it is basically used to build an Ant classpath from an ivy.xml file that describes the project's dependencies. The dependencies are resolved using a chain of repositories. In this particular case, we could have a chain consisting in a local repository (checked in in SVN), Cocoon's own repository and then the main Maven repository. And since this is really about building a classpath (the library path in this case), we don't actually _need_ a local repository, and can build a classpath that is the concatenation of artifacts pulled from a repository and jar files in a "local-lib" directory.
