Hi Markus, thank you very much for the answer. As I said, maven is very new to me, and I still did not really get into its concepts.

Ahh, this is an enlightenment ;-) I didn't realize that I should run mh_make myself; I thought it is something started by dh. When I re-read the "mh_make" section now: this is written there. Maybe make it a bit more explicite that this should be done manually? So, I looked into the dependencies and (as the article suggests) installed them: * ant, ant-contrib * xmlrpc dep is in libxmlrpc3-client-java (which has /usr/share/maven-repo/org/apache/xmlrpc/xmlrpc-client/…) * junit When I then run mh_maven, it first stumbles upon the dependency xmlrpc:xmlrpc:jar:1.2-b1, searches /usr/share/maven-repo/… and /usr/share/java/xmlrpc.jar for it (all failing) and asks me: | try to enter a substitution rule of the form s/groupId/newGroupId/ | s/artifactId/newArtifactId/ jar s/version/newVersion/ here: where I get lost. What is groupId, artifactId, version? The dependency in pom.xml has groupId=artefactId="xmlrpc", version="1.2-b1", but what shall I put there now? Next one (after ignoring this for a moment) is the "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:maven-plugin:null" dependency. This is already found then with apt-file: | Found /usr/share/maven-repo/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/1.3/maven-antrun-plugin-1.3.pom in libmaven-antrun-plugin-java | Found /usr/share/maven-repo/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/1.8/maven-antrun-plugin-1.8.pom in libmaven-antrun-plugin-java However it again complains then: | [error] Cannot resolve Maven dependency org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:maven-plugin:null. If you know a package that contains a compatible dependency, | try to enter a substitution rule of the form s/groupId/newGroupId/ s/artifactId/newArtifactId/ jar s/version/newVersion/ here: The same repeats with "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:maven-plugin:2.9.1" which is also found with apt-file, but then fails. It looks that one needs to install the packages for the antrun and javadoc plugins first; this is however not good documented (and took me a while to find out). So, now the only error I couldn't resolve is the xmlrpc dependency. Could you help me there? Best regards Ole
