To keep my libs separated, and avoid accidental version intermingling from latest.integration, I like to setup separated cache directories that are local to a "workspace" (i.e. set of related projects, or perhaps a branch vs. trunk). By setting the useOrigin="true" attribute on the cache, it combines nicely with local file system resolvers where the truly common stuff can be installed (e.g. slf4j). Then I use cachepath, cachefileset, or symlink as was mentioned already (actually IvyDE in Eclipse most of the time). I generally only have one copy of any given version of a jar file, and my workspaces are still fairly isolated. Rock on.
