  Description     : utilities for the Plexus framework

 The Plexus project provides a full software stack for creating and executing
 software projects. Based on the Plexus container, the applications can
 utilise component-oriented programming to build modular, reusable components
 that can easily be assembled and reused.
 .
 While Plexus is similar to other inversion-of-control (IoC) or dependency
 injection frameworks such as the Spring Framework, it is a full-fledged
 container that supports many more features such as:
 .
 * Component lifecycles
 * Component instantiation strategies
 * Nested containers
 * Component configuration
 * Auto-wiring
 * Component dependencies, and
 * Various dependency injection techniques including constructor injection,
   setter injection, and private field injection.

This package is already in Debian as plexus-utils but we need a new source 
package to build new upstream release (which seems to break API/ABI-compat). 
This package is a dependency of Maven 3.x
