Hi,

Thank you for this opportunity, here is my wishlist, mostly focused on making packaging easier,
especially for people unfamiliar with the Debian packaging system (like me):


1/ Make the Debian version of maven able to locate its own plugins.

Simplest example I could come up with.
 - Following packages were installed: maven, maven-debian-helper, maven-repo-helper)
 - Pom did not specify the maven-clean-plugin version (so that it would be resolved from the installed maven)

  $ MAVEN_OPTS="-Dmaven.repo.local=/usr/share/maven-repo" mvn --offline clean

2/ Add a cookbook on how to create poms that are compatible with both Maven
and Debian best practices as well as a step by step guide for mh_make integration.

The page https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Packaging/Maven is very minimal,
the "mh_make" section contains a deadlink to
http://collab.debian.net/portal/planet-debian/markus-koschany-pdfsam-how-to-upgrade-a-maven-application-for-debian.
The only documentation I was able to find for mh_make is the youtube video.


3/ Provide a more controlled and flexible way of locating a JRE runtime
for java start scripts.

A possible solution would be findjava (I'm the author). I submitted a
request for packaging via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039109
Emmanuel Bourg started to look at how to package findjava, but stopped
not sure if because of time, interest or blockers. See
https://github.com/loicrouchon/findjava/issues/1
