       Body:
I tried, but I came to conclusion that it is actuallny not easy.
POM in version 3 contains information about where to deploy site (siteAddress, siteDirectory), where to deploy distribution (distributionSite, distributionDir) and jars are deployed to server configured in maven.repo.central.directory on maven.repo.central
or distributionDir on distributionSite.

POM does not contain information about where to download artifacts from.
Even if I point to server I still do not know the directory, because usually directory is shared through webserver under URL which is different from absoulte path from distributionDirectory.
I can show links to servers from maven.repo.remote but this will be not accurate information. It would say "You can download binaries from siteA or siteB.
Another problem is that in POM there is no information about project type (jar, plugin, etc) which results in further problems in making correct URL.

Correct me if I am wrong.
I think that unfortunately this issuse is WONT_FIX candidate.
