I agree that we should pull scala in into pkg-java for Java Team maintenance. I'm adding Dave Beckett to the cc:, as he had put together packages for 2.10.3 and 2.10.4 back in April, and may have interest in the this effort. Medhi had raised concerns about those packages needing network connectivity - I think maven was pulling in some new dependencies - so, step 1 is to figure out how many missing dependencies there are. (If 2.11 has many more new dependencies than 2.10, then maybe we aim for 2.10.) Cheers, tony
