My 2 cents - I suffer enough from maven central containing random
stuff under random groupId:artifactId so if upstream doesn't ship
pom.xml to define the groupId:artifactId, putting jars in maven repo
like structure can only make things worse for cases where upstream
hasn't thought about that at all.
I think we are talking about packages that already have POMs. Maven
unaware packages can still install stuff in %_javadir.
