javahelper and maven-repo-helper should be harmonized as much as possible, I need to look into this, and learn more about debhelper 7. I think that you need to add 2 actions on a post install hook: - mh_linkjar to create links to the jars installed in /usr/share/java by jh_installlibs into /usr/share/maven-repo - mh_installpoms to install the POM files into the Maven repository > Shouldn't there be a policy that all java stuff should also be published to > /usr/share/maven-repo? The policy should mention that this repository now exists, but it should not be mandatory to install libraries there. Of course, when you package a project built with Maven that's missing the required POM and jar files in the Maven repository, it's more work on you. > Shouldn't there be a policy that all packages should have a "debian" version > in the debian maven repo? There should be something like that, yes, but with some freedom left on the packager: - use debian version if the library has a nice history of keeping backwards compatibility - use versions such as 1.x or 2.x if there are several major versions with incompatibilities, but backwards compatibility is maintained within the same version line. - use the full version (1.1.4) if there is a known issue which makes a specific version of the library usable. I used that for libitext1-java because libdoxia required a very specific version of that library to work. > The ivysettings.xml[4] I built for hadoop seems pretty standard to me and I'd > propose to include the resolvers part in maven-repo-helper or somewhere alike. > Good idea, I will include it.
