I was hoping for some clue about this bcel versioning issue.

OK. I mailed Andres but got no response. I've found the current version of maven-native at https://github.com/mojohaus/maven-native and it even has a release tarball! And I've now got a better understanding of how to use mh_make to mostly sort things out for me. However I've hit this issue: ------------ In native-maven-plugin/pom.xml: This dependency cannot be found in the Debian Maven repository.

The upstream pom.xml has: <dependency> <groupId>bcel</groupId> <artifactId>bcel</artifactId> <version>5.1</version> </dependency> The only thing wrong here seems tobe the version, so what should I do here to make mh_make happy that libjava-bcel contains the right stuff? I also got the complaint that it can't find: backport-util-concurrent Do I care about that? Do I need to package that too? <sinking feeling emoji> Also how does this 'debian' version thing work? Is that like saying 'generic/current' version? And we do that to deal with all these packages asking for a specific version when they really don't actually care (probably). So should I prefer to set the versions for all this stuff to 'debian' as that's likely to stay working for longer? Cheers for pointers.
