Yes this looks pretty good. Even better would be a search function. 
Assume a little search form where one can enter a classname e.g.
org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator, press "Search" and get a list of
all jars containing this class, e.g. log4j-1.2.8.jar and previous
releases.

Even better would be, to display the relevant POM snippet for the search
results. Instead of showing
"http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.8.jar";, 

 <dependency>
        <groupId>log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.8</version>
 </dependency>

might show up, making it easy to copy&paste this to your project.xml.

In principle this should be easily possible with a search engine like
htdig. The only thing to add is a custom jar-file parser. For simplicity
"jar -tf" would be sufficient.

Stefan
