Just my 2 cents there...I actually like that as I can use component lib plugin to just suck in all the jars in the folder in the project where I do NOT want all the jars in the cache. Ie. I typically have 3-4 projects on my machine and the jars they have in their local are a subset of all jars in the cache. This can be why it is Good to have the duplication of jars..also, when you clean out your project, the ivy cache is still on your machine as well. Anyways, just my 2 cents...you may be solving a different problem though where it makes more sense to have one and in that case, I am sorry I don't have enough ivy experience to help there yet.
I personally change the lib default to our one single output folder that can be cleaned.

I also noticed that these same downloaded jars get put in the ivy cache directory which by default is where the ivysettings.xml file located. I am thinking I don't need the down loaded jars in two locations. The ivy cache would be fine. However, there does not seem to be a way to dis-able the jars going to the lib directory or some other lib directory specified in "ivy.lib.dir". Yes, I can point "ivy.lib.dir" to the ivy cache directory which is what I did but now have two copies of the same jars at different locations in the ivy cache directory. Am I missing some additional settings.
