Good. :)

AFAICS this is not LibreOffices problem

If people use maven for stuff where they *know* that stuff they rely on has no maven
information *they* need to get around that and/or not use maven.
There's "simple" ant etc, too without needing POMs.

It's IMHO not the case that the peeople who don't have the POMs because
they don't need it care for the person who has choosen using maven.

And maintaining it myself?
