This is partially what the jenkins maven repository plugin [1] was built for -- each build is exposed as a separate build repository, so you don't need to go copying things around.
What we do is : 1) Install the plugin 2) Add the following to the jenkins settings.xml [2]: 3) In the downstream project, add "-Pupstream" into the maven settings 4) Check the 'Define upstream maven repository' checkbox (build environment), and set the upstream build that you want to add as a build repository. There is a bug to do with snapshot IDs in the current version - there is a patch that is in master, but I haven't had a chance to roll a release with it yet. I'd use 0.6.1 until it's fixed if you rely on SNAPSHOT artifacts..
