mvn-rpmbuild script is deprecated and retained (for now) only for
compatibility with legacy packages.  It should not be used.

Looks like missing dependency (less likely) or incompatible dependency
version (more likely).

Generic algorithm in this case is:

Identify which dependencies differ
For each different dependency do:
  If upstream dependency is newer then
    update Fedora package providing the dependency
  else
    set dependency version in POM to the version used in Fedora
    port project (i.e. resolve compilation problems and test failures)
    create patch against upstream version
Build the package with created patches
Forward patches upstream
