I believe LanguageTool[1] is a Java project using Maven as it's building
tool.
Lazy me. Instead of digging the mailing list and source code which would
cost too much time and may not work out. I packaged the binary
distribution (jar files) using =copy-build-system= which I am trying to
get it merged into Nonguix[2] in case someone else also wants it.
So my questions would be:
1: What is the current status of maven-build-system? Is it capable of
building a package like this[3]?
2: Also, I don't see =guix import= has support for maven. Does that mean
we have to manually write a package definition for every dependency if
it wasn't included in Guix yet?
3: If =maven-build-system= is capable of building a package like this,
would someone like to tackle packaging =LanguageTool= from source?

Thanks

It's working fine, but most packages are still lacking a lot of dependencies, including some maven plugins

There's no importer and an importer would be a bit limited as it won't be able to get proper sources most of tge tine, though importing the dependency graph would be useful already. Would you like to give it a try? :)

Like I said, the biggest issue would be number of packages, and maybe bug fixes as we currently have only one package using the maven-build-system.

Can you elaborate on this? How can I import the dependency graph if there
is no importer? I very much like to try it out when I am bored at home.

What Julien means is that if you were trying to write an importer,
you'd end up writing one that produces something like this
(define-public java-language-tool
(package
(name "java-language-tool")
(version "6.0")
(source this-thing-raises-an-error)
...
(inputs (list java-commons-cli ...))
(native-inputs (list java-junit ...))
...))
(define-public java-commons-cli
(package
(name "java-commons-cli")
(version some-version)
(source this-thing-raises-an-error)
...))
In other words, you won't be able to actually build language-tool until
you insert proper sources in all the source fields – which Julien fears
maven, being a binary distribution system first and foremost, won't
deliver on its own.
Cheers
