Hi, Not the magically way I think you're asking for, no. Not to my knowledge anyhow. What you could do, is to try to find out what artifact you have an then, if you're lucky, the source code might exist in a repository (central for instance). One way to find out what artifact you have is to use its checksum and then use a Nexus instance to try to find a match. You can find some info about this in one of Jason van Zyl's blog posts: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/04/mavenizing-the-appengine-sdk/
