Is there an api for turning a java.io.File, which represents the path of a jar into the local repository, into a maven Artifact object? Or do I just need to reverse the process used in the DefaultRepositoryLayout.pathOf() method? I'm working on a plugin that will dynamically add dependencies to maven for eclipse plugins, but the eclipse code will load all jars under certain hierarchies in the local repo to form the target platform. It will analyze the project's code and return the jars (and access rules) that are really needed for compilation. My code needs to convert these file paths into dependencies which I can then add to the m2 project.
