Maven Update
There was a lot of work to do to update the version of Maven in Fedora. A build in non-bootstrap mode is currently building.
Maven 2.0.8
While this version of Maven is old, it is newer than what we had (2.0.4) and should be ready in time for Fedora 12. The main tracker bug is bug 429551. Be sure to file any issues that are a part of this work as blockers of that bug.
In order to build some of the packages below that are higher up the dependency chain, you will need some of the packages lower on the dependency chain. If a simple yum --enablerepo=rawhide install of the packages you need doesn't work, you can try the repository of just-built packages, adjusting for your architecture as appropriate:
[koji] name=Fedora 12 - i386 baseurl=http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-f12-build-current/i386 enabled=0
and then use yum --enablerepo=koji install
Packages that are done
The following list ordering is important. Many of the below are "Pre-Review Requests". We should just turn them into full review requests. The Java packaging guidelines and regular packaging guidelines must be followed.

Maven is built in non-bootstrap mode. Yay!
Packages that need work and/or reviews
Maven 2.2.1
This is the most recent version of Maven (as of 2009-08-21). In order to simplify things, we have discussed the idea of splitting the Maven plugins into individual SRPMs. This will be a lot of initial work but will pay off by reducing long-term maintenance. A group of us (dbhole, akurtakov, overholt) has plans to tackle this for Fedora 13. We will gladly welcome any other interested parties.
