Copying static jar files to target jar through IVY and ANT

Question

I'm using ant and ivy to create jar file, I have 6 jars which I'm copying to ${build.google.reports.jars.dir} directory. These are static files but I would like to fetch through IVY.

I have tried ivy install and retrieve but no luck. How can I copy either from ivy cache or any other better solution to ${build.jar.file} jar file?

ivy.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
        <info organisation="google" module="google-utils" status="integration"/>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency org="log4j" name="apache-log4j-extras" rev="1.0"/>
            <dependency org="commons-cli" name="commons-cli" rev="1.2"/>
            <dependency org="dom4j" name="dom4j" rev="1.5.2" />

    </ivy-module>

You have to use ivy:install and copy *.jar to destination directory:

<ivy:install organisation="log4j" module="apache-log4j-extras" revision="1.0" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>
        <ivy:install organisation="commons-cli" module="commons-cli" revision="1.2" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>
        <ivy:install organisation="dom4j" module="dom4j" revision="1.5.2" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>
        <ivy:install organisation="jaxen" module="jaxen" revision="1.1.3" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>
        <ivy:install organisation="log4j" module="log4j" revision="1.2.16" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>
        <ivy:install organisation="net.sf.staf" module="jstaf" revision="3.4.4" settingsRef="dev.settings" from="chain-resolver" to="build-tmp" overwrite="true" transitive="true" type="jar"/>

        <copy todir="${build.staf.bugreports.jars.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${build.tmp.dir}">
                <include name="*.jar"/>
            </fileset>
        </copy>
        <delete dir="${build.tmp.dir}"/>
