Hi, > Things started well and I could build the first few dependencies, however, when I got to Maven I noticed that it has itself as a build dependency. I would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed and build Maven from source rpm. You could use maven binary RPM from Fedora to bootstrap maven on your system. Once it's built you can rebuild maven with iself. Hope that helps, Mikolaj Izdebski maven maintainer -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
