Nevermind. The problem wasn't with pathconvert... my ant target was
improperly written. I now have it working with pathconvert. Still don't
know how to do it with just ivy:buildlist, but not such a big deal anymore.
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. Here's the ant target in case this helps anyone:
<target name="publish-all" depends="init-ivy, clean-ivy, sync-source">
<ivy:buildlist root="${root}" reference="publish-all-ivys-ref">
<fileset dir="." includes="*/ivy.xml"/>
</ivy:buildlist>
<pathconvert property="publish-all-dirs-path">
<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)\\ivy\.xml" to="\1"/>
<path refid="publish-all-ivys-ref"/>
</pathconvert>
<subant genericantfile="common-build.xml" target="publish"
buildpath="${publish-all-dirs-path}"/>
</target>
