[fedora-java] general maven questions

[Christoph Höger]

Hi guys,

according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429551

rebuilding maven is a mess. While waiting for progress patiently, I have
some more general questions about maven in fedora:

1. I see a lot of maven-* packages floating around. How are those
supposed to do anything? Doesn't maven download all stuff from the cloud
[tm]?

2. If I want to package a maven project, how would I do that?
Especially: How do I manage dependencies?

3. Does anyone know if mavens pde plugin is ever going to work again?

regards

Christoph
