Hi Appreciate that I have been *absolutely* silent on this mailing list since I joined but I would like to get more involved in Java packaging for Debian and have a few opinions on some of this thread.

Maybe installation of Maven artifacts into /usr/share/maven-repo should become part of the Debian Java Library Policy as it is for /usr/share/java? This would really help out when the Java Libraries in Debian mature to a point where packaging of larger applications such as Jenkins, JEE Apps Servers etc... is feasible as the majority of larger Java projects seem to be using Maven these days. > - Set up a real Maven repo based on our packages. Dak may help, too. This is something that we discussed at the Ubuntu Developer Summit last October in one of the Java Development Toolset sessions. Having this type of service would potentially really help upstreams who are not packaging for Debian align to versions of Java libraries already packaged which could make things much easier going forward. I'd like to help out with these two goals as they fit nicely with some of my downstream objectives for Ubuntu (which I can hopefully feedback to Debian!).
