Change subject: packaging: Don't require Maven packages for build
......................................................................


Patch Set 1:

> Want do you mean without GWT? how does it actually work?

I mean that we don't build webadmin or userportal because to compile them we 
need the GWT compiler, and the GWT compiler is not included in Fedora.

> Why can't we add the GWT files as Source entries, and just use it as-is?

You can of course add those source files, but that doesn't make sense in my 
opinion, if you want GWT in Fedora then what you should do is package it for 
Fedora.

In addition the GWT sources themselves are useless, they have to be compiled, 
and the result has to work correctly, because what we need is the binaries of 
the GWT compiler in order to be able to compile the GWT applications (webadmin 
and user portal). And that is the challenge: building a working GWT compiler 
using only the packages that are already available in Fedora.

There is work ongoing to package GWT for Fedora, leaded by Andy Grimm as part 
of the project to include Eucalyptus in Fedora (see [1]). I suggest you contact 
him and offer your help.

The Fedora .spec is different to the upstream .spec in that it doesn't build 
the GWT applications and it it uses mvn-rpmbuild instead of mvn, those are the 
main differences.
