Thanks for the suggestion, but IMO Maven in Fedora should be built the
same way as upstream builds it, that is with Maven. That minimizes the
possibility of deviating from upstream and introducing unnoticed bugs.
Instead a custom project was created that is used to build from
scratch a minimal environment that contains Maven and that can be used
to build Maven package. Then Maven can be used to rebuild itself as
many times as needed.
