There are a couple of "unofficial" Maven2 packages available for Debian. Firstly Michael Koch's binary package: http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2007/03/msg00004.html http://people.debian.org/~mkoch/maven2/maven2-binary_2.0.6-1_all.deb This should work out of the box, but is, of course, a binary-only package (and so not suitable for inclusion in the Debian archive). There is also what I hope will eventually become the official Maven2 package: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/maven2/ I believe this is nearly finished (and would appreciate feedback on it). If you install this package you should get a working Maven2 system - and if it doesn't work I would like to know! This isn't the same thing as being able to use Maven to build other Debian packages, such as excalibur. When Maven runs it downloads a multitude of Jars, which wouldn't be allowed when building a Debian package. All of these Jars need to be packaged in Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
