It doesn't require netbeans-ide but it requires netbeans-cvs library. Which has
been separate in a rpm of it's own and fixed in Fedora 14.
A big number of this packages is mandatory i.e. will be downloaded by maven on
the first run by shipping them we allow people to run maven even without
Internet access.
This is by no means saying that there aren't unneeded dependencies but we need
them pointed just like you did with the netbeans-ide which has been addressed
already. Also it would be good if you update to Fedora 14 because Maven has
been updated to version 2.2.1 and a number of dependencies has
changed/simplified and etc.
