How can I accurately find out, which pom dependency?

Question

I'm looking for a fool-proof method of finding the pom entry that will provide a project with a specific dependency. For example, if I have import com.google.common.io.Files , and it is not compiling because of a missing pom dependency entry, how can I find the specific dependency to add to my pom, with minimum fuss?

I know of the existence of search.maven.org , but sometimes that is unhelpful.

Answer 1

As you have said, the search.maven.org is the best answer.
