Tetyana and Antoine, thank you for your responses.
I'd like to refine my questions to a specific problem: I'm attempting to
build a repo for a default Grails application. Grails auto-generates the
app/ivy.xml and the app/ivysettings.xml, which resolve dependencies just
fine, and the apps compile and run via ant&ivy with no problem.
My approach to building a local repo initially involved taking the
app/ivy.xml, and migrating the app/ivy.xml:<dependencies...> to my
repository/build.xml:<ivy:install...> tasks. However, I have found that
this naive migration resulted in a number of unresolved dependencies,
and that if I replaced the resolvers in app/ivysettings.xml (which
resolve to ibiblio, etc.) with resolvers to my local filesystem, then
ivy would download a significantly smaller subset of the dependencies
needed by the grails app. Subsequently, the grails app would fail to
compile or run.
So, my second approach has been to try to generate the local repo
directly from the app/build.xml, using the original unmodified
app/ivy.xml and app/ivysettings.xml. With this approach, ivy downloads
the dependency artifacts to a staging area. Exciting stuff. However, I'm
a bit stuck w/ respect to publishing. I'll include my targets below, but
to wrap up, when I publish, only the top level object, my grails app,
gets published. My goal is to publish not just the top level project (in
fact, I don't really need this top level), but what I need to publish
are all the dependencies of this project.
Looking at the docs
(http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.1.0-rc1/use/publish.html), I don't
see anything re: publishing the dependencies of a module. What are my
options here? Do I need to write some code to walk the directory where
I'm staging all my dependencies, and publish each one in turn? Or is
there a cleaner approach?
Here are my some of my artifacts:

<description
homepage="http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/xgws/xsoap/xpp/mxp1/";>
MXP1 is a stable XmlPull parsing engine that is based on ideas from
XPP and in particular XPP2 but completely revised and rewritten to take
the best advantage of latest JIT JVMs such as Hotspot in JDK 1.4+.
