We are still a long way off before get to a working maven build system.
I have a few more Java packages sitting here, but it’s not much.
We first need to recursively package all dependencies of Maven. The
next packages on my list are “java-javax-mail” (done) and “java-log4j-core”,
which needs the following packages:
javax-persistence
javax-jms
java-zeromq
kafka
apache-commons
These might have unpackaged dependencies of their own. If you took over
“apache-commons” that would be very helpful. You should be able to use
the “ant-build-system” to get started, even if it doesn’t result in the
prettiest packages.
Once we actually have Maven packaged (completely from source without
cheating) we should take a look at the existing packages again and see
if we should install jars with a directory layout that Maven expects.
Until then I wouldn’t bother trying to anticipate all these issues.
