as far as I know, this is not possible with plain Aether, as it can't do
the HTTP equivalent of a "ls demo-*". Also, the maven-metadata.xml [1],
which does contain the necessary information is AFAIK only available for
SNAPSHOT artifacts (besides, Aether doesn't offer a way to query that; I
think you have to parse it by hand.)

But as you mention Nexus, you can simply use the maven-indexer Benjamin
pointed you too in another mail or the Solr-based search API newer
versions of Nexus support. (The SolrJ client library is available from
Orbit, BTW.)

Hope this helps (until Benjamin's timezone is up and you get a much more
qualified response than mine ;-),
