Dear Maven Developers, more than 4 years ago I naively asked you on how to build Maven from sources without using Maven.
If you are interested in a declarative, bootstrappable, reproducible and effectively executable answer to this question, Julien Lepiller recorded a video on how he bootstrapped Maven and a maven-build-system for GNU Guix with only using the ant-build-system. He shows how to bootstrap Maven only from sources, which difficulties he had and how he mastered the dependency cycles and other problems. You can find a link to the video recordings in this announcement: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/online-guix-day-announce-2/ If you have any questions, you can join the discussions on Guix day, the discussions for this talk will be on Sunday 2020-11-22, 16:00–16:25 UTC. Happy Hacking, Björn
