Maven

Maven on Gentoo
Maven, Ant and Gradle are very wide spread Java build systems. Unfortunately it is not trivial to distribute source based ebuilds which require Maven. (see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Java_Packing_Policy#Maven)

As of 2019-06-23 we have only a binary ebuild for Maven in the official Gentoo tree. However is still not available

Google Summer of Code
Improving the support of Maven was goal of several Google Summer of Code projects:


 * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Ideas#maven_support
 * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019/Ideas/Maven_Java_overlay

Packages waiting for Maven support
New packages for the tree which depend on Maven are organized by the tracker ticket.
