Of course not, nothing is :-)

mh_make was working on Jessie, so this is a bug/regression/whatever.

These plugins aren't referenced from my pom, they are indirect dependencies of default Maven plugins. mh_make -v resolves all dependencies successfully, it is Maven that fails later on. So either something is seriously broken or I'm doing a bloody beginners mistake.

All the dependencies are already packaged.
