Maven refers to the maven build we have: it doesn't support all of our
features. This isn't really a debate, its a fact. I don't argue that
theoretically it can't in the future, but it does not do so right now.
There are a lot of missing tasks (jflex generation was just a simple
one, but there are lots of little things like this). Sure, it might be
possible they could be added, but thats a ton more work than just
addressing jar dependencies.
