Allow defining dependencies using maven dependency code snippits

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There are several sources of dependency information in maven format.

Examples are Nexus repository browsers and Netbean's "Maven Repository Browser" 
(Window>Other>Maven Repository Browser).

It would be good to use this to create an ivy dependency for inserting into an 
ivy.xml file.

This can be done by enhancing the autocompletion so that if called from a point 
where a <dependency> tag is valid (in an ivy.xml file), and if there is a maven 
dependency spec on the clipboard, then convert the maven dependency to an ivy 
one and provide it as a completion.

Attached images show copying maven dependency from netbeans maven repository 
Browser. The clipboard contents are

<dependency>
  <groupId>HTTPClient</groupId>
  <artifactId>HTTPClient</artifactId>
  <version>0.3-3</version>
</dependency>

then 2nd image having this clipboard snippet showing as an autocompletion 
proposal
