Yes, JNA 3.3.0 is required as a minimum by libvirt-java.

So, as it is now, publishing a new version of libvirt-java to maven
would not work / produce a non working artifact because actually a
newer JNA would be needed by the code base.

Since building is done using a different tool than for publishing,
it never turned up to be a problem.

(This would probably be another good reason to use a single build tool
 only, not some awkward combination thereof.)

You should also remove findbugs.xml then (using the maven findbugs
plugin instead).

OK, which version of JNA do we use? 3.3.0 to begin with?

I have no idea / experience about this one. We'll have to see whether
this works out for the different distros I think.

What about the Debian package build?

The README should be generated / updated with the correct version
number when publishing a source tarball.

Apropos publishing: I suppose maven has some kind of scp plugin
to copy the different artifacts to the server just like the ant
targets "maven", "publish_source", "publish_srpm"?

+1 for doing the transition from (ant+maven) -> maven.
