Another package on your system is too old, presumably
maven-bundle-plugin. (Not sure about that part though.)
If you look at the error message:
[WARNING] The POM for biz.aQute:bndlib:jar:debian is missing, no dependency
information available
This means it's going to look for the following file:
/usr/share/maven-repo/biz/aQute/bndlib/debian/bndlib-debian.pom
However, with the package in Stretch (and also backports), that
file has moved to:
/usr/share/maven-repo/biz/aQute/bnd/bndlib/debian/bndlib-debian.pom
(Notice the extra /bnd/ in the middle.)
So that would mean it should look for
'biz.aQute:bnd:bndlib:jar:debian'
instead.
To summarize:
1. Testing dependencies are not strict enough here:
bnd needs a versioned Breaks: on all packages that look for
that POM file since the location has moved. Maybe that is
only maven-bundle-plugin (if I'm right), maybe it's a couple
of additional packages.
All packages in the above list in Stretch need to add a
versioned Depends: on the newer version of 'bnd', because
they won't work with the older version either, since they
are looking for the POM file in the new location.
Unfortunately we're in deep freeze right now (at least
practically speaking), so maybe this could be fixed in the
first Stretch point release, or maybe it's so minor that it
doesn't warrant a stable update. You should probably ask the
release team what they'd prefer here. (Preferably only ask
them after the release of Stretch. ;-))
2. You need to backport additional packages to make this work.
Hopefully only maven-bundle-plugin, but maybe more.
