Maven: Get repository URL of a dependency

Question

I want do display the URL to a JAR that was deployed to our maven repo at the end of my build job. (Basically the \"link\" where the dependency - the JAR - can be downloaded

I suggest you to compose the URL from the parameters in the very pom. Example:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.8</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>deploy-message</id>
                    <phase>deploy</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <tasks>
                            <echo>deploying to url=${project.distributionManagement.repository.url}/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</echo>
                        </tasks>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

(This message will appear at the same time the deploy is being performed, but you can set it to whatever phase you want. Or include it into a Maven profile.)
