I have a few more Java packages sitting here, but it=E2=80=99s not much. We first need to recursively package all dependencies of Maven. The next packages on my list are =E2=80=9Cjava-javax-mail=E2=80=9D (done) and= =E2=80=9Cjava-log4j-core=E2=80=9D, which needs the following packages: javax-persistence javax-jms java-zeromq kafka apache-commons These might have unpackaged dependencies of their own. If you took over =E2=80=9Capache-commons=E2=80=9D that would be very helpful. You should = be able to use the =E2=80=9Cant-build-system=E2=80=9D to get started, even if it doesn=E2= =80=99t result in the prettiest packages. Once we actually have Maven packaged (completely from source without cheating) we should take a look at the existing packages again and see if we should install jars with a directory layout that Maven expects. Until then I wouldn=E2=80=99t bother trying to anticipate all these issue= s. ~~ Ricardo
