Hi Cristopher,

sorry for delay, but I was on vacation.

XMvn/Ivy integration (ivy-local et al.) was added quite recently and
it's not supported in RHEL7/EPEL7.

Probably the easiest solution is not using Ivy to resolve build
dependencies. You would need to use build-jar-repository to create
"lib/" directory with all necessary dependencies and patch build.xml not
to use Ivy, but JAR symlinks from "lib/". Let me know if you have any
trouble with doing that and I'll try to help.

Another (probably better long-term) solution would be packaging latest
XMvn/javapackages for EPEL7. This could help porting other packages from
current Fedora to EPEL7, if not now then in future. Unfortunately I
don't have time to do that myself, but anyone is free to do that.
