Description

The maven-artifact-transfer should be enhanced having a method to resolve versions of artifacts like this:

public interface ArtifactResolver {
..
List<String> resolveArtifactVersions( ProjectBuildingRequest buildingRequest, Artifact mavenArtifact )
        throws ArtifactResolverException;
..
}

I have a working implementation but I'm not sure if it should return a list of versions as plain String ?

This will help to use maven-artifact-transfer also in other plugin for example in versions-maven-plugin.
