You're welcome to help, especially since we don't know much about Maven. It's not only FOP that has to be deployed to the Maven repository but also XML Graphics Commons which FOP depends on. For that, I've already started some work on its build.xml [1] so that we can generate an upload bundle as described in [2]. I've also started a POM [3] for it. If that looks good to you, the same pattern could be applied to FOP, too.
I didn't finish all that since I didn't have much time and don't work with Maven so my motivation was a little small. So please see what you can use and send us a patch for the rest. At one point I got confused: There was [2] which looks pretty straight-forward, but then I found [4] which I really can't make head or tail of especially in relation to [2]. If you can clear that up, that would probably help us. I mean if you can help us do this right, maybe we can do the whole thing ourselves next time. Thanks, Jason!
