Dear maintainers, a while ago I brought up this topic already and I would like to re-open the discussion again. I want to suggest that libreoffice-java-common ships Maven meta information (pom.xml's) for its jar files.
Every package which uses Maven must in turn have all its Maven dependencies available in the Maven repository of Debian. In the last discussion https://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2013/08/msg00167.html it was said that Debian should not include the pom.xml's since upstream doesn't ship them either. I talked with the upstream developer of my LibreOffice extension and he said it is logical that Libreoffice doesn't ship pom.xml files; Maven is not their build system. When you package a Maven program, you have to make sure that each of your java dependencies ships Maven meta informaation and since we have a "offline maven repository" in Debian under /usr/share/maven-repo, it is a part of Debians repository. So it makes in my opinion sense to add pom.xml files to libreoffice-java-common. Please consider adding the meta information.
