Another thing I should have pointed out right away, but forgot is that alternative way would be to create rpms directly out of upstream maven release with bundled dependencies and all that. I know most people on this list would feel more comfortable with this approach and it is more simple way to achieve your goals right now. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to create that spec file.
