Just like the resolve process returns a ResolveReport, i would be nice if the retrieve process returned a RetrieveReport with details about the actual retrieved artifacts and their locations.

This would make it possible for 3rd party applications, like IDE addons, to work with the retrieved files.

Furthermore it would be possible to expand the Ant tasks with a "retrievePath" target, just like the current "cachePath", but with the retrieved locations. I have seen several questions on the mailing list recently related to this.
