As the subject mentions the main feature in new javapackages-tools is
improvement of build-classpath, build-jar-repository and related functions to
support Maven artifacts in form of:
groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]][:version]
You can also mix and match so this is valid:
build-classpath junit:junit commons-lang
For Maven artifacts the dependencies are added transitively. This obviously
requires XMvn, but it's a soft requirement. As long as you don't use Maven
artifacts in the scripts that is...
Other things:
* Support for SCLs in macros, scrips etc which needed serious rework so bugs
may be present bug backward compatibility should be preserved
* Man pages for RPM macros (also in previous release, just forgot to mention it)
* 230 tests for pom_ macros, provides/requires generators, backend library,
mvn_* scripts. More to come
