Thanks for linking to the source of great information on the complex issues here. The bugs in launchpad are where developers generally focus most of their attention, so there is high quality updated linked information there. Note in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427539 that there is a Maven2 package from Artur reported to work in karmic, deployed now in a personal package archive (ppa): Workaround is install maven2 from ppa: https://launchpad.net/~uninea/+archive/java Please test it and give feedback. And there still seems to possibly be a chance of getting that in karmic if people can test it out and help get it built in a way that works properly within the ubuntu build process. If that doesn't work out, please recognize how hard it is to put together a project like Ubuntu with over 24000 packages, many at the cutting edge, most maintained by loosely-coupled volunteers, on a clockwork schedule that can't possibly match the schedules of all the component upstream development projects. We can always use new testers, developers, and folks to get involved early in a release cycle to look out for issues like this.
