Maven is currently dominating build system in Fedora Java packages. Autogenerating source RPM packages (or package skeletons) from Maven artifacts isn't new idea [1], but I'm not aware of any tool implementing such thing. I've been recently playing a bit with Maven and I thought of creating a tool that given a Maven groupId and artifactId would download it along with all dependencies that are not yet packaged for Fedora and create skeleton packages. A lot of metadata (including Requires, BuildRequires, URLs, Description) is already present in pom.xml files and can be easily extracted. I could rather easily crqeate such tool. The question is, would anyone be interested in seeing (and perhaps using) that? If yes, please speak up and share your ideas.
