Maven may have a lot of design limitations, but this scenario is none of them. No build system can completely compensate a careless developer or system administrator. And what is the alternative? If we don't find a way to make building Java application rpm easier, there will be no Fedora rpm for many applications at all. And then, what happens? The sysadmin installs a binary from some source.
