maven artefact / junit:junit:jar:debian

[Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org>]

Hi all,

  I am trying to build the joda-convert package (see pkg-java svn). I
used mh_make to generate the skeleton files. However the package still
fails with:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Missing:
----------
1) junit:junit:jar:debian

  Try downloading the file manually from the project website.

  Then, install it using the command:
      mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=junit -DartifactId=junit
-Dversion=debian -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file

  Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there:
      mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=junit -DartifactId=junit
-Dversion=debian -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url]
-DrepositoryId=[id]

  Path to dependency:
  	1) org.joda:joda-convert:jar:1.2
  	2) junit:junit:jar:debian

----------
1 required artifact is missing.

for artifact:
  org.joda:joda-convert:jar:1.2

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)


I have been trying to find a solution to this issue however I fail to
understand how this thing works. Any hint very welcome !

Thanks
