Comment 2 for bug 463648

I second that. When I tried to install the maven2 package it tries to install - amongst many other things that I don't want and that are not necessary to run maven - gcj (I have the sun jdk, what do I need gcj for???) and ant. I attached my output from apt-get install maven2 since it is in English and might be easier to understand for some people.

If I know how to do it, I would provide a maven2 package for Ubuntu without the unnecessary dependencies. Are there any pointers on how to create a deb package from a java source?
