Well. For simple-ish examples of using Maven you can have a look at apache-commons-io and related commons packages. They should be relatively clean being updated only recently. To build Java stuff with Maven in fedora you have to use a bit modified mvn-rpmbuild script that works in offline mode. Note that all dependencies (even build-deps) will have to be packaged and properly added to BuildRequires, otherwise the packages will not build. Quick glance at the deps seemed to suggest we have them all so you should be OK. I have to say I kind of like this project. Clear licensing, no bundling, no shading. Way to go. You can high-five upstream if you are in touch :-) There is one more issue: We don't have packaging guidelines for java webapps. You might want to have a look into[1] and [2] where we discussed it somewhat. We should get it over with one of these days. I would propose putting the unpacked war file into /usr/share/webapps-java and symlinking dependencies into lib subdir. Seems like the package is self-contained so even "bundling" its parts in war might be OK here. If you've never packaged Java software for Fedora this might be a bit confusing so feel free to stop by #fedora-java where we can help you out in real-time.
