There is no workaround (other than converting+building with ant ofcourse). I have received a request from another packager for maven on ppc64 as well. Rather than waiting until 2.0.9, I think it'll be better to building the existing one on 2.0.4 for now. It is on my agenda for today.

I just tried to build a newly approved package, jsr-305, only to have it fail on PPC64. The failure is because the build uses maven2, which does not exist on the PPC64 architecture.
First, there is no FE-ExcludeArch-ppc64 bug that I can find that mentions maven2. Shouldn't there be?
Second, should I work around this problem? It would be easy to invoke javac directly for this small package. On the other hand, if I have to hack up the .spec file to support building with maven when it exists and support direct javac invocation when it doesn't ... that .spec file is going to become pretty ugly, and possibly fragile. If I should not work around the problem, then I should really file a blocker bug that blocks on [insert # of maven2 blocker bug here], which doesn't exist, right?
Thanks for any advice,
