Hi,

does anybody ever had the need, given a resource name (i.e.: a class name),
to know which maven2 artifact(s), and in which versions, contain that
resource?

So, essentially just a maven2 repository(or repositeries) inverted index
(resource name->[artifacts list with versions]) , that could be useful also
for an IDE perhaps: you write a class name in the code, the autocompletion
looks into the compile classpath, if it can't find it anywhere, it queries
the inverted index and eventually suggests to add a dependency to the
pom.xml ...

Unnecessary and stupid idea (maybe caused by the tropical weather in Rome)?
Or is it an already existing service?

Well, let me know something :-)
