A somewhat similar functionality, which is more practical, has been
implemented as part of the Build Integration views (
http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/Build+Integration).
For each artifact you can get the builds it participated in - as a published
module artifact or as a dependency. Seeing which projects are using a
certain dependency version is fully feasible for projects that are built and
deployed to Artifactory by your CI server (and Artifactory will even warn
you when you try to delete a dependency used in builds).

The build-perspective is the most practical one, since it is the only
context in which you will get the actual dependencies used by your projects.
Resolved dependencies are subject to dynamic conditions - dynamic versions
(e.g. ranges) and the state of the repository at the time of build, resolved
properties, excludes in specific projects, the version of Maven in some
cases, etc. Calculating a list of dependencies based on artifact
metadata alone and traversing a dependency tree is nice, but in practice is
not something that can reliably produce real-project usage.
