Another workaround if you want to do this only for projects in your current reactor and it is done sporadically + not programatically would be to use the maven-graph-plugin. From the image you will see the incoming arrows.
Just an extra idea...

I think I heard that they were thinking about bringing this capability to Nexus (by querying CLM in the backend). Other than that, I ended up writing a perl script that would parse the following out of every branch in every repository: mvn help:effective-pom mvn dependency:list pom.xml I then read that into a wonderful hash structure which I used to create a reverse hash, and then create a nice csv file from that data which I can use in and excel-like program to search for the dependency - and see the results. I created a forward-dependency.csv and a reverse-dependency.csv with my hash structures to present the data in different ways. Either way, its totally possible to do.
