Hi, I tracked down this error to a change in jtb's pom.xml that changed jtb's groupId.
A commit [1] moved from using debian/pom.xml to using upstream's pom.xml (introduced by [2]), but the problem is that groupId changed from "edu.ucla.cs.compilers" (original pom.xml [3]) to "edu.purdue.cs" (new pom.xml [4]). javacc-maven-plugin was affected by this and patching its pom.xml to point to the new jtb's groupId solves the FTBFS.
