Bug#626074: maven2: build fails only for debian-version of maven2

[Rudi Hochmeister]

Package: maven2
Version: 2.2.1-5
Severity: important

Every version of Debian-Maven fails to build Configuration Deployment 
PlugIn of open source project geoserver with:

mvn comile fails with following exception:

All Native maven binaries (version 2.0.8 - 2.2.x) from apache site succeed.

to reproduce this behaviour:

#checkout source to directory called mavenError
svn export http://svn.codehaus.org/geoserver/tags/2.0.3/src/maven mavenError
cd mavenError
mvn compile


This is an issue already known for geotools/geoserver developer. And 
their soulution is to NOT use debian maven2, only official maven2 from 
apache. But this makes it very diffucult to build a future debian 
package for geoserver, if it doesn't compile with debian-maven2.

Can you please have a look at this issue, thx!

cheers, Rudi
