At this point, it sounds like a standard matter of Ivy debugging. Try
running an ivy:report against the dep-for-ear conf and see where the
provided confs otherwise show up.
When you mention you use ivy:cachefileset for compilation, I'm presuming you
mean ivy:cachepath.
And you're right in implying that the problem you're encountering is the
same regardless of whether it involves ivy:retrieve or
ivy:cachefileset+copy, although rather than doing a copy really you should
be doing ivy:cachefileset and then specifying the fileset in the ear task
itself.
