Hi Björn, Nice presentation, the packaging of Maven in Debian followed a similar path but we never documented the process. Did you go as far as recording the exact steps and build order required to build from scratch?
Spoiler for the next part of your quest toward packaging the Android SDK: Maven was the easy part, Gradle and Kotlin are many leagues above in term of circular dependencies and headache. We have been trying to bootstrap Kotlin for 2 years in Debian and haven't found the right path yet.
