I don't know an approach to generate the dependencies lines at build time. I think you'd have to by-script or by-hand create the dependency lines in an ivy file somewhere.
For a package resolver, when you're defining the package you would also define an ivy.xml file with dependencies for each conf in that package. Then from your project, you would depend only on your teiid package, and let ivy cascade through the dependencies as usual. This would be an advantage if you are depending on teiid from multiple projects, you would only need to manage those dependencies in one place. Regardless of where you do this, if there's dependencies in teiid that match existing libraries (but named slightly differently) in your primary repository, then you can tweak your ivy file to match the module names that you're familiar with so you don't get duplicate classes in different jars on your classpath. As an aside: I believe this is a large part of the motivation behind the ivy roundup project. Ivy roundup source is available for checkout. I did a quick search around in there: have a look at the org.glassfish.jersey module package for an example of a larger project with lots of configurations and dependencies. https://code.google.com/p/ivyroundup/ Good luck!
