It would seem like a useful function on a repository and a lot less stuff to check out.
Have you asked this in the Nexus forum?

I don't know of such a tool, but if you are running linux, you could create
a shell script that relies on dependency:tree. You would need to check out
all the projects you want to monitor, run dependency:tree (or
dependency:list) on them with a grep on the artifact and print out those
that match. You probably don't even need to use grep, I think there are some
options to tweak the plugin to only print the dependency you look for.

Is there a plugin or command-line tool that can list all artifacts in a
local repository (or even in a multimodule project) that depend, directly or
transitively, on a given artifact? This is the opposite of dependency:tree,
which only displays dependencies.

Maven Dependency Browser is no longer maintained and is a GUI. IDE plugins
seem like overkill.

The problem I am trying to solve is to automatically determine which higher
level artifacts need to have their dependencies updated when a lower level
artifact is updated. Extra credit for being as simple and easy-to-use as
dependency:tree.  :-)
