What Julien means is that if you were trying to write an importer, you'd end up writing one that produces something like this (define-public java-language-tool (package (name "java-language-tool") (version "6.0") (source this-thing-raises-an-error) ... (inputs (list java-commons-cli ...)) (native-inputs (list java-junit ...)) ...)) (define-public java-commons-cli (package (name "java-commons-cli") (version some-version) (source this-thing-raises-an-error) ...)) In other words, you won't be able to actually build language-tool until you insert proper sources in all the source fields – which Julien fears maven, being a binary distribution system first and foremost, won't deliver on its own. Cheers

There's no importer and an importer would be a bit limited as it won't be able to get proper sources most of tge tine, though importing the dependency graph would be useful already. Would you like to give it a try? :) > >3: If =maven-build-system= is capable of building a package like this, >would someone like to tackle packaging =LanguageTool= from source? Like I said, the biggest issue would be number of packages, and maybe bug fixes as we currently have only one package using the maven-build-system. > >1: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool >2: >https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix/-/merge_requests/226#note_1147169576 >3: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/blob/master/pom.xml > >Thanks
