What's your "main cache"? You mean an HTTP repository? You can either use NFS/CIFS filesharing to copy the files, or use Webdav or SFTP to copy the files to the server. I use SFTP with an RSA keyfile; you need to add jcraft jsch.jar to your ant classpath.
Also... how do I selectively remove things from my main cache?
There's no decent way to remove things selectively. It's hard to have reproducible builds when things keep changing in the repository.
So, within eclipse I have all my individual projects open and I want to write a build script that compiles all of my modules and has them publish to the local repository. But when I run the main build script in cruisecontrol I want the modules to be retrieved from elsewhere and put in the main repository. So at the start of every build I need to be able to selectively remove my modules from the main repository but leave the spring, commons, junit etc. files there. How do you do this?
That's a really unusual workflow. I would recommend researching SNAPSHOT releases rather than constantly replacing artifacts with the same version. Ivy's caching behavior works really poorly for modules which are updated with the same version.
