How to query Maven repository from application to obtain metadata

Viewed 9478

I'm trying to migrate an eclipse project to a maven projet. The eclipse project refernces many jars in its .classpath file. I'm looking for a way to generate the corresponding pom dependencies.

Say I have Velocity-3.1.jar, I want my app generate corresponding XML chunk :

<dependency>
<groupId>velocity</groupId>
<artifactId>Apache-velocity</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
</dependency>

The app was able to query some service and found the groupId, artefactId, version data.

Of course, I accept errors and will check the generated metadata.

Is there some Maven service/plugin which would do the trick ?

many thanks !
